I think we could benefit greatly from their skillsets. Porter Jr is getting off to a slow start but he'll pick it up and the Bulls team have a lot of great young players so I don't think they'd let him go. RoCo is a player most teams would line up for if he became available and we don't have much to offer so I don't think that'll be happen. Thaddeus Young just signed with the Bulls this past summer so I don't think either party is ready to move on from each other.We are of the same mind here, though TY is a touch long in the tooth, as it applies to this roster, in my opinion. Still a definite upgrade and a valuable addition, for sure. Just last on that list for me.
If none of those players become available, I would be perfectly content with keeping our current roster and letting them build chemistry. We're in no rush. We have our best players under contract for years, and everyone on this roster is talented, top to bottom. Its very possible for someone like Wright, Brunson, or Jackson to develop and become the type of players that we would want to trade for. I like this current team, I like it a lot.
I like where we are and the mix we have. DAL should be able to compete every night and improve with every passing week, give the age/depth/versatility of this roster. Patience should afford them to be in a position to make an impact level deal at the TDL, if one a rises and they are ready to pull the trigger.
