So this could end up either way for me.

I'm quite high on Poole. He has improved steadily every year and is only 23. And although is still very inconsistent, he does have the "it" factor to score at will sometimes.
There are a lot of doubters who say that he will be only a overpaid 6th man, but he has again this year averaged 28/3/5 when playing without Curry. Last year it was 26/5/6.

So, I have no doubt that what he is now is only the floor, and he can become an all-star level scorer when he actually hits his prime. Also I have no doubts defensive side can improve to being only slightly negative.
Anyways Poole is also a nice fit to my current core.

That 2024 pick probably ends up top 5 now that Shane has it back. But if he didn't get, it might easily be somewhere in the later lottery range. So there is no guarantee I get a star player with it.
I hope this is one of those cases that will be win-win for both in long term. I get a young star relatively cheaply and Bulls get their next building block with their own pick.

Not huge fan of Oubre, but he has put up career high 20ppg and best steal percentage this year in Charlotte. Efficiency is bit down, but that is explained that he has been playing with damaged wrist in shooting hand since week 1.
But that was now fixed by a surgery in January, and after returning he could be help for my playoff run this year.

[Gary Payton]

Accept, a second for a year of Otto Porter is fair.

[Hanamichi Sakuragi]

I reject.

That has always been my answer when I got this urge of not sleeping. Sleeping is my way of cooking this chicken. Although some like their eggs to be boiled. I prefer to talk than to just walk with someone. Sometimes, it is not easy to understand. But why even bother when it is hard?

Explaining something is always a fascinating way to get attach to someone. But, I do understand that it is not easy. In life, everything is breathing. For all the hours that you used to lick your lips, another person is just standing. At the end of the week, it all start with a single error.

Who wins? I do not know. All I know is that everything matters until the alarm went off. Everytime that happens, you are just sitting there with your mouth wide open.

Thanks.

I ACCEPT THIS TRADE.

This has to be one of the biggest (in terms of volume of assets swapped) trades in the history of the league.

Also historical for Chicago to move on from the Lillard era which has lasted since 2018/19!

I think the Cavs are pretty scary in the East after this deal. Lillard, Kyrie, a healthy Zion, a strong bench can go far, good job Hana.

[Bryan Colangelo]

Accept, well done guys!

[Alex English]

I accept. This is much better than the last Lillard trade, if for no other reason than Chicago gets their own pick back for 2024. This is a good day for the trade committee, and therefore the world.

[Ian Noble]

Shane Battier will need to release a player before this deal can go through.

[Shane Battier]

Ian Noble, I've already released two players
