Just from a discussion of sorts: Freddy was JP's support from the coaching side of things. Zach is on good terms with Coach B. "Out of the Rotation" has been coming. Remember how a certain D12 wanted his respek' ? Well, allegedly Bari' wants his as well but hasn't gone about things the right way. Wendell and Lauri are the preferred combo, along with Zach when he heals. That leaves JP out of position and 20 million on the bench. The Bulls make terrible decisions in trades for the most part, so this bad mix of talent doesn't surprise me. I mean, they did put Rondo, Wade, Jimmy and a bunch of non-shooters together and thought they had something special brewing. Welp.
I always look forward to your posts, but I don't see any reason to make this deal. Gordon's defense alone is better than Jabari's offense, and his outside shot is starting to come around.
I understand you now. I think we should some more patience regarding EG. He may be starting to turn the corner with his performance against the Wizards. There is no doubt that he has been bad.
Parker has a team option for next year. I can't be certain, but I think the club option dates are usually late June. The draft is the 20th. So technically his contract could be a useful trade piece after the season - send to a team looking for space, who then does not pick up the option. Alternatively, it saves the Rockets cap space. As I noted, I'd do it with Justin Holiday, who is a solid 6'6 hybrid backup/starting guard. However, the CP3 injury kind of changes the equation. You can't move EG now, that's for sure.
