DAL - CHI

[Dallas Mavericks]

Contingent on CHI-LAL passing, the Dallas Mavericks would like to present the following deal: 

Dallas Mavericks trade:
2019 First Round Draft Pick (Chicago) Pick #7
2019 First Round Draft Pick (Lakers) Pick #8
2019 First Round Draft Pick (Mavericks) Pick #12
2019 First Round Draft Pick (Knicks) Pick #14 


Chicago Bulls Trade:
2019 First Round Draft Pick (Portland) Pick #3 

No contracts/salaries are exchanged in this transaction. 

I accept. I am trading my collection of picks for a much higher pick in the draft. I'm not even sure I have enough roster spots to house this many picks and while I may be overpaying, this is better than losing picks for nothing. Also, I'm not high on anyone outside of the top 6 in this draft. 

[Chicago Bulls]

I accept. I plan on having enough roster spots to take them, and I'll take 4 players with nice long contracts and a decent shot of turning into a good player over one player who's still not guaranteed to be a star.

[Minnesota Timberwolves]

This trade is insane, partly because the Guru Bulls will now essentially be the 2019 lottery minus the three good players, but mostly because I can't believe that Mavs' endgame for owning this whole stack of picks is to blow it all on one, especially when it seems so likely in this class that at least one of the 4-9 picks will be better than at least one of 2-3. Who knows though? Both these teams got what they wanted, and it'll be fun to look back and see how they did. I approve.

I approve. Love the waking up to this trading from the Bulls.

Would also get some schadenfreude if the Mavs miss on pick 2 and 3!!
