Wiggins vs McDermott

[Lipoli390]

Would the Bulls trade McDermott, Butler, and Mirotic for Wiggins?

Without hesitating.

And would they hesitate giving up that same package for Love?

Sheridan Hoops did a nice write up on the 3 main offers for Love.

Not surprisingly, they seem highest on the Cavs offer. That seems right to me as Wiggins has the highest upside of anyone who has been reportedly offered for Love.

They shouldn't hesitate to make that move either, but it's slightly different, though.

In the first hypothetical, Wiggins would replace Butler as their elite wing defender (even though he hasn't played an NBA minute yet). They can't give up Butler in a Love trade because they'll need Butler's defense.

In both cases, the Mirotic issue is tricky, but value-wise CHI should do it. McDermott would get moved for Wiggins or Love without even thinking about it.

The main issue with the CHI deal for Love is Butler will not be involved. In the Wiggins trade, they could move Butler knowing Wiggins has that defensive stopper potential.

In a Wiggins-CHI trade, Butler's involved. In a Love-CHI trade, Gibson's involved. You understand why.
