Sam Smith reaches into his mailbag as we reach the quarter mark into the NBA season
Joseph Austin:
Would a trade involving Lonzo Ball and Chandler Hutchinson make sense? I've read that the Pelicans are looking for front court shooting and that might point to Lauri Markkanen. With Markkanen's offensive resurgence and Carter's prolonged absence, Markkanen is too much value and front court depth to give up. Neither Ball or Hutchinson have a lot of value right now and both might need a change of scenery? There are "rumors" out there suggesting they trade Coby or Lauri for him, I believe that the Bulls could and should receive a lot more in a trade for Markkanen than just Lonzo Ball.
