I don't see why ORL would dump him before the last year on his deal unless they get a great offer. If they trade anyone it's probably Vooch or Bamba.
Same thing with CHI; OPJ is exactly the kind of player they need and his contract doesn't hurt them because it's not like they're saving that $$$ for anybody else, no one is going to sign there; OPJ is the best they can do. If they trade someone, my guess is Lavine.
EDIT: Also, I think we need to keep our first rounder next year. We need another wing to add and free agency blows next summer plus we got no space anyways. Donnie is on record saying next year's draft is really good so I think we hold onto the pick unless an all-star caliber player is up for grabs.
I´d be all over Lavine, if he became available. Next to Luka´s he´s easily a 24/4/4 guy with 40% 3pt shooting on a 19.5M contract. Right now ( I know early) he´s averaging career highs in rebounds, blocks and steals. People say he has a great work ethic, too.
He has only played for bad coaches or situations, too. Flip Saunders dies in his rookie season. He´s replaced by Sam Mitchell, who hasn´t had another head coaching job since 2008. Then he´s going to Chicago working with two rookie NBA coaches in Hoiberg and that bald-headed nutjob. Throw in a ACL tear and you have a 24 year old ready to play for a good coach on a good team. Circumstances matter.
But I´d take almost all Bulls players. With the smart veteran signings of Satoransky and Young I actually thought they´d push for the play-offs in the East, so if they blow it up....
