Trade Match could be done already even if it included Moses because of the Chicago TPE allowing it to be done on a non-aggregated basis (unless you believe LM wants more than 3/$44). A straight TPE single team trade with Chicago-only could similarly be done already.I get it, been following this thought pretty closely. I’m just not sure if there is a hold up, or the more likely scenario of we don’t have what either team wants and trade talks are currently dead while they explore other options, since there is currently no reason to make a deal (no real deadline).
There is a TPE version that involves getting Dragic and LM with the outgoing salary matching Dragic and being split between Tor/Chi. If Moses is needed for matching outgoing salary, then the deal has to wait.
One of Powell or Maxi has to be outgoing in any scenario (outgoing big).
The other mix and match options are WCS/Moses/Green/Terry/Burke. I agree Chicago needs more size and we have too much of it (especially if LM is added). There have been plenty of trade ideas posted that solve that issue.
Doesn’t mean the start of the season won’t create a deadline for either or both teams, just that right now I’m not sure there is much left to be said. The exact pieces in the trade are almost always different than what is mainly discussed. I will say, I appreciate your “non-specific” thoughts to the discussion more than specific trades although for a while it is fun to discuss the specifics. But your framework is the basis of getting things going.
