Clippers Rumor With Bulls Addition

[boscel33]

Was reading an article from Adam Taylor that the Clippers want Simons.  Obviously, we know who the Celtics want from the Clips, Zubac.  Adam goes on to say, however, the C's should be wary of trading Simons because it'll create a depth issue, but then he mentions an idea of a second move with the Bulls for Ayo Dosunmu.

Simons for Zubac is a deal I'd make -- depending on what/who else had to be included on our side.  Losing Simons does hurt the bench scoring and it raises the question what to do with Q as a starter. 

Dosunmu is an interesting addition as well but again, at what cost.

I'm not sure how the Celtics pull that off, but sure.

If LAC is in fact "interested" in Simons and willing to make a deal that includes Zubac, I say go for it.  Sure, you are trading some back court depth for front court depth, but Zubac is likely a starter for BOS.  I would rather have a starting Big over a back up guard.

There would be many options as a follow up move to bolster the back court depth.  Dosunmu would be one avenue but not nearly the only avenue.  Absolutely, if you can finagle Zubac for Simons, do it, and then sort out the rest.

Depth looks fine still right? Most likely they can roll with lineup 2...Tatum would start PF and Queta off the bench for Zubac. Just hypotheticals

I agree that if they get Zubac, they probably go with line up 2 as the primary.  I don't see Zubac and Queta on the floor together.  Then go out and find a vet bench guard to bolster the bench.  Much easier to find that than a starting big.
