Suns: $186 million salary 15 wins Lakers: $166 million salary 16 wins Golden State: $208 million salary 15 wins Bulls: $166 million salary 13 wins Rockets: $150 million salary 15 wins Thunder $146 million salary 18 wins TWolves $162 million salary 22 wins Magic $130 million salary 17 wins Rockets are up there in the salary to wins efficiency tracker. TWolves Thunder and Magic are looking great, however. Thunder salary is closer to $120 million when you take out Porter, Garuba and TyTy. Rockets are $140 million minus John Wall and Jeremiah Robinson Earl--$130 million when you factor out Oladipo. Speaking of Oladipo, how y'all feel about an Oladipo/Green for Caruso/Levine trade? Could work for both teams, but I don't think Levine would be an improvement over Green based on the salary. If we can find a way to package Oladipo for Caruso with a second round pick, I'm absolutely up for it. Caruso gives us a great defensive minded SG to be the perfect 6th man to rotate with Jalen.
Your trade proposal is preposterous, but this is what fans do. Bulls want more than junk for Lavine and/or Caruso.
Depends? As the Rockets do have the 1st round picks/swaps from the Nets to sweeten the pot. Rockets have more than enough assets to make something work if they were motivated to do so. But I am really intrigued with Jalen Greens continued development under Ime, as he is finally under a proper coach who will not get giddy like a schoolgirl with Green’d athleticism.
f Chicago fans are feeling the same way about LaVine that some fans on this board feel about Green. Adding a second rounder to Oladipo should get Caruso. Caruso has his limitations. A lot of you fans really suffer from grass is greener syndrome. Not much difference between LaVine and Green other than salary.
the bulls are not giving away someone as valuable as Caruso for literally nothing, that's completely insane
Is this some funny troll i don't understand? Caruso is worth easily one 1st rounder if not more, Oladipo is worth nothing (negative actually)
A good 6th man is not given away for the package you proposed unless that team is cheap as **** and desperately attempting to shave off salary with no takers. Come on now lol.
Bulls fans aren’t making the trade, the team is. I don’t like Zach Lavine anymore than you do, but saying there’s no difference between him and Jalen Green is just silly. JG doesn’t have 1/3 of his ability. What they do have in common is neither one plays winning basketball on a regular basis.
A good 6th man can be got for Oladipo and a 2nd rounder. Oladipo can be a starter that can make a difference for a team in the playoff stretch. Personally, I'd rather have Oladipo than Caruso if Oladipo doesn't have a bad attitude when he is ready to play.
Really like Caruso, another dawg that can shoot 3. Image Sengun with 4 good defenders that can shoot 37% from 3. That is a top 6 team in the west. Also we will soon have 3 max players.
