That is a good point. Tough to match sending guys who match the salaries plus the first round picks. Most of the teams are probably competitive, so they are also giving up a piece they probably need too.
I don't know why teams like the Bulls would be interested. Although the Bulls do seem laser focused on getting to 42 wins for some reason.
I think OKC and Orlando are real interesting sleepers. OKC can use the Bertans contact and a few of their thousand draft picks. While it is not a final piece, it is another piece to solidify their playoff standing. Orlando is filled with young players. Issac, Harris and picks. That doesn't touch any of their core, heck even throw in Cole Anthony. That could make them a solid playoff team with a lot of growth possible due to their youth.
