I understand that it’s current en vogue to bring up trade ideas or ways for us to get bigs, despite knowing this, I’m still interesting in seeing what you all think of the potential for a WCJ trade and fit.
I understand that a trade scenario is unlikely but looking over the bulls roster and considering their trajectory, I could see and scenario in which we could offer enough to move them on the idea. I think that trade looks something like Memphis 1st, Boston 1st, mil 1st, and Romeo Langford.
Before you murder me, I understand that is a lot to give up. Similarly, I also understand that in any proposed trade scenario you’ve got to try to categorize equity. In any conversation with the bulls I feel as though their GM would say something like - look Wendell is a bit raw, but is also only 20 and is getting nearly a double double in 30 minutes a night while playing solid defense, even if he is getting into fouls trouble. They key here is that he is 20 and showing signs that he will be productive. The other part that we don’t have access to is who he is behind the scenes, something that always complicates this proposals.
Also, would we want this man for that price? Would we want him at all? I don’t even know if that trade incentivizes the bulls to make the move, do I feel as though it’s an overpay? Maybe, but I think we can all agree that I’m order to pry a very young big prospect from a team you have to be willing to give up a bit extra.
Personally, from a timeline perspective I’d love this trade. I don’t see Romeo ever getting a chance on this team with the Jays and Gordo on the team. Maybe the Memphis pick strikes gold, maybe we end up with another wing.
I know it’s unlikely, but a man can dream.
