Would someone be willing to take on Batum's contract in we sent our first rounder with him?

I would hate to lose our first rounder but I am looking at this like addition by subtraction. This team looked better without Batum early in the season and when he came back from injury something changed and the team just couldn't fix what ever was wrong. Lamb needs to be starting and Monk should have been getting 6th man minutes all season. The cap space freed up would be huge. 

I would do a deal like this in a heartbeat but I don't even think 2 firsts would be enough to get out from under his contract. I wish we could still amnesty a player.

I have no idea.  Didn't realize how bad the contract was until this week.  In the NBA can you not just cut a player or you still have to pay them?

NBA contracts are fully guaranteed so if you cut a player, you still have to pay them and the contract counts against the salary cap.

Can't give up a Lottery pick just to get rid of a bad contract man. You have to put Kemba with him, simple as that.

I think the way Lamb played this year - and the sweetheart deal he is on - we could package him to get rid of Batum's terrible contract..
OR we could send Monk and Batum - but I don't want to get rid of him at all..
MAYBE some team would take Bacon and Batum - but I doubt it.

Kemba/Batum - Monk/Batum - Lamb/Batum - 1st Rd pick/Batum

^^^those are your realistic options.. maybe Mitch Kupchak can pull off some magic..?

Kemba/Batum seems like the only option at this point. Especially if we want anything of significance in return. If they don't care, I would try to trade Batum and our second rounder or something for a second rounder. His contract is so bad, I would take a Gatorade for him.

a second won't cut it - maybe if we took a horrible contract back - like Joakim Noah

Kemba would cut it. He's an All-Star. No way are we sending our first round pick to get rid of his contract. Not when we are about to start REALLY sucking.

The way his team is constructed losing Batum and Kemba doesn’t help us. We would still suck for another 2 to 3 years so you might as well just wait out Batums contract and tank for 2 straight years. 

We should have just sat him this year with his elbow injury and try to trade him before the draft / offseason. Now any trade value he had is gone.

If I am the GM and someone wants our pick ( looking like it will be 8-12) The only way I  trading it is if they take Batum. The extra cap space would be enough to extend Kemba and bring in a decent back up point guard for the first time in 3 years. 

I still can’t believe Cho gave Nic the max signing MKG, Marvin, and Cody to big deals. What ever we need to do to get rid of Batum without dealing Kemba needs to be done.

      What do you want to see come out of the 2024 season the most?

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      I want the conversations at season's end to be more about what else we need to build onto the foundation to be playoff contenders and less about the fultility of drafting yet another QB and hiring yet another coach because as long as Tepper is the owner, it doesn't matter what this team does.

      CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

      By bandu · Posted

      yeah I was hoping  that we stayed put & drafted Levis at #9  i even said on here after we foolishly traded up for Bryce Young that I would not be surprised whatsoever if the Bears were picking #1 overall with our pick this year but what ...just saying
