So, even taking Sato into the TPE and trade matching Thaddeus doesn’t help them much as we have to send out at least $9.2mm and only creates an extra $2mm in space. The only way to really help them is to take them both into cap space and save them the full $24.2. Seems like Chicago ought to pay something for that…but what?
With the rumours of Ball AND Rose, it feels like they are ready to move on from White, especially since he just had shoulder surgery. White/Lavine were unplayable together, but okay separated.
We don´t have to solve all their problems. We can´t take both Satoransky and Young. That would kill our flexibility, but Satoransky into the TPE is very much in play and if we can make them pay with either White or Dosunmu + swap of Burke/Arcadiacono that´s excellen use of the TPE.
Would be amazing if we turned
Richardson + Burke into Satoransky (expiring), Brown (minimum contract), Dosunmu (rookie contract) and Arcadiacono (RFA)
or
Richardson into Satoransky (expiring), Brown (minimum contract) and White (rookie contract)
One added benefit of such a deal would be getting a cost effective Brunson replacement in early, so you can explore trade options, if you want to.
