Stein: Pels want Markkanen with TPE, Bulls want 1st round pick.

The Pelicans have expressed interest in Lauri Markkanen and hold a sizable trade exception ($17 million) to take the restricted free agent in on a contract he seeks, sources say.
The Bulls, though, are said to want a first-round pick to facilitate.
The Bulls have decided they would greatly enjoy a further raping of Griffin.

Chicago sucks. They weren’t going to get that on the open market from anyone and with the investigation you’d think they’d want to play ball. Would give them two-to-three future seconds.

Two seconds is the max frick them

Let his arse go to Charlotte then…
They aren’t getting a first from me

Hell no to giving up another first rounder

“On a contract he seeks” is troubling.
Considering all the rumors are Markkanen is waaayyy over valuing himself at this point.
Would hate to walk ourselves into another Adams/Asik situation where we give up assets than pay above market value for another big man that isn’t an ideal fit.
Love the idea as a back up 4/5 on a modest two and one prove it deal, would hate it as a 17+ million long-term deal that costs yet another first rounder but doesn’t actually push us up a tier in the league.

Why they didn't hold out for Markkanen in the Ball trade is puzzling.
Posted on 8/8/21 at 12:22 pm to Fun Bunch
That’s fricking laughable. They have no leverage here. They aren’t going to give him the money he’ll command and he’s straight up said he won’t play for CHI. Offer them 2nds and just wait them out. It’s only going to get more toxic for them the longer this drags.
On the bright side, I’ll get to use this for more than 24 hours

Naaaaaah, I'll stick with our underwhelming offseason as is, thankyou very much.

Would we even need to use the TPE? Couldn't this just be rolled into the Lonzo deal? You could even pull Temple out of it and just use part of the MLE for his $5M to make more room. I guess it all depends on the number Lauri is seeking and if the salaries would work.
But yeah no way am I including a first. Take a second rounder for him or Hart in a S&T but other than that count me out.

We literally can't give up another first unless it's like in 2024. Besides, we got nothing from them when we gave them a player that wanted out. Now that they have the exact same situation they want a first? They can go frick themselves

If we give up ball and a 1st to get markkanen when we could have reportedly gotten him for just ball at the deadline
I swear I'm gonna lose it.

Who do y’all think is leaking this? Lauri’s agent trying to drive up his value?
Posted on 8/8/21 at 1:06 pm to Fun Bunch
That's cool, Ball trade isn't completed yet, so change the terms and tell them you want 2 1st round picks to initiate the S&T
Posted on 8/8/21 at 1:19 pm to Fun Bunch
Don’t give them a fricking thing.
If they want to resign him then let them. They’d be deep in the tax if they did.
There is absolutely no reason to give them anything. If someone else wanted to sign him, they would have by now.

Oh hell no.

I’d tell them to get fricked. They can have a 2nd in 2026 but first they have to give Griff a rimjob.

I think a deal like Grahams makes sense for Markkanen and the pelicans because that deal isn't bad for a 6th or 7th roster player and at worse He will live up to that postion!
