I don't think Presti is looking at Chicago at all. Here's what he had to
say in September about making a trade:
"You can't buy the paint for your house that you haven't bought yet," Presti said. "You don't know wherethe house is. ... You don't know what style it is. You don't know how much paint you'll need. We don't really know what we have right now.
"I think this is part of the headwinds that you face as a young team. I wouldn't want to cash in to become average or above average."
Presti isn't looking for a mere upgrade, he sounds like he's looking for that Great Whale. No one's really sure what it is at this point but he's looking for him! (Maybe Embiid if things go south in PHI.)
