So I'd be looking at the Houston Rockets.
And Houston is fascinating because they have a ton of future draft ammunition.
The Rockets have Phoenix's unprotected first round pick in 2027.
They have swap rights with the Brooklyn Nets in 2027, who are one of the worst teams in the league.
They have a bunch of second round picks.
So I think a fair deal would be Kobe White for Dorian Finney-Smith.
And let's say a top four or top five protected 2028 first round pick from the Rockets themselves.
That would give you a few more bites at the apple.
I still think this team could...
probably make the play in tournaments, starting Trey Jones, who's arguably been their best player.
You still have Giddey.
So even if you lose two guards, you'd have decent depth in the backcourt if they do want to continue to try to compete.
So I would love to see the Bulls try to take a small step back and get some more future assets.
What I would expect from Arturas Karnaschovas, though, is that he does nothing because the trade deadline, every year he does nothing.
It's always one of the most disappointing days of the season for Bulls fans, which is saying something because the season doesn't really have many high moments.
So my expectations are at the floor, and I dare Arturus to exceed them.
No, that would be great.
But I think like if you're going to trade Jalen Smith, who honestly is one of the biggest advanced stats stars in the NBA this year, he's got a plus 15 net rating.
The Bulls are 0-7 when Jalen Smith doesn't play and they win like 60% of their games when he does play.
So sure, I'll trade Jalen Smith, but he's pretty good.
