Still think they need another guard over a C. Can't go another season with your back up PG's being unplayable. Siakam and Scottie can handle the ball to take some of the load off FVV, but that's going to be a situational thing. It's one thing to let Siakam bring it up with Embiid checking him and another entirely when facing a full court press from say Boston.

You seem to expect a lot in return for a player you claim was below average defensively and has a has a probable one year rental contract. Why would a team trade a comparable player with better cost control? Or a player with more potential? Like who? Please name a few players you would trade gary for
He could also be interesting framework for the same reasons in a trade for a bigger salary player a team is looking to move off of, anywhere from a Myles Turner to a Rudy Gobert, but stuff would need to be added on our end I suspect.

Same feeling here. I'm in no rush to trade Trent, but if I was, I don't see how Christian Wood (+ a pick, like #17 this year) would be a bad exchange. Solves some issues people believe we have at C at 14M next season, then expiring. Can hit some 3s, can definitely score in the post. Raptors culture might pull more out of him?
Again, I'm not advocating to trade Trent; I think it's far more likely they keep him at least until the trade deadline, and that's the path I'd probably take, too. But if you're determined that this is the offseason to use him in a trade before he dashes in FA, then there are worse ideas than Wood, esp. if you believe they need a "true C".
They don't need a true C for the sake of a true C. They need a good true C, or they might as well stick with their current experiment.

Raps get some youthful upside to match Scottie's timeline + cost control + bench depth.
Starters: Ball, Scottie, P. Williams, Pascal, Precious
Bench: Caruso, Ayo, D. Williams, Boucher (re-sign), Birch + Thad (maybe) + draft pick + MLE
Bulls get experienced 2-way NBA starters + ton of shooting + championship/all-star pedigree (Fred) to put around DeRozan, Vucevic + Lavine. Also a hedge, if Lavine leaves. Bulls take a flier on the upside of Flynn and Banton and inject some youth.
Starters: FVV, Lavine, DD, OG, Vuc
Bench: Coby White, Trent, ...9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I agree with almost all of this but I don't know of too many teams that are in a position to trade for OG, that would make him the #2 option.....would be cool to see what he could do in that opportunity though9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
