Does Chicago really need Bogdanovic? Seems silly from a talent standpoint. Seems OK from a cap management standpoint, but is the smart play here to be a buyer in free agency? If Stein is being told this might happen soon, is the whisper coming from Dallas? Could we be in on Bogdanovic + (maybe Drummond or Caruso or Carter or something). Dallas makes more sense for Bogdanovic that Chicago IMHO.
Actually, the deal should be Bogdanovic and Stewart coming to Dallas. THJ/GWill to Chicago and LaVine to Detroit are the other main pieces. Someone else can figure out the picks/youth necessary to make this work.
Much depends on Chicago’s willingness to move on from LaVine. It is being reported that no one wants him (which I find easy to believe). I’m envisioning the DET/CHI part of this being worked out first. Then Dallas deals with Chicago and compensates them for the difference between Bogdanovic/Stewart vs. THJ/GWill. I have no idea what cost would be, but I feel strongly that I’d rather have Bog/Stew over THJ/GWill.
Edit: There is an even simpler version of this where Dallas simply trades GWill or Holmes for Beef Stew and Bogdanovic sticks with Chicago and THJ isn’t part of the deal.
