00:00Now, you keep hearing these rumors about whether Vooch could wind up somehow in golden state
00:10if Jimmy is—Jimmy, we've got to get to him—if Zach is somehow going to wind up
00:18in Milwaukee.
00:20That seems insane to me.
00:21But will there be something drastic that happens here?
00:26And has his thinking changed in terms of what he's willing to kind of do to get anything
00:34done?
00:35Yeah, that's the part that is unknown.
00:38Currently, what you hear from the teams that I talk to around the league is that he's asking
00:43prices high.
00:44And that's not a bad stance to have at this stage, but as you get closer, does he drop
00:50that price just to make a deal?
00:53I would say the critical difference to point out between this trade deadline and previous
00:58ones, from my view anyway, is that in previous deadlines, they didn't make a move because
01:04he wasn't sure he wanted to.
01:05If they don't make a move this year, it's because they just couldn't find a deal.
01:09And I'm not making excuses for the management team or the Bulls.
01:14What I will say is that particularly of contracts, and certainly in the case of Levine and a
01:19little bit in the case of Vucevic, in this day and age with, you know, boring CBA minutiae
01:25aprons, first apron, second apron, it is harder to make trade.
01:29That's just a simple fact.
01:31Now, yes, Brooklyn has got out in front of this and traded Dennis Schroeder and Dorian
01:35Finney-Smith.
01:36Now, those contracts were smaller and in Schroeder's case, was an expiring.
01:41So you know, again, that's the critical difference to me.
01:45He wants to make change.
01:47He wants to make trades.
01:49Will they find a partner?
01:50I don't know the answer to that.
