Chicago is open to trading Zach LaVine

Also Zach is out a week with "foot soreness".

Zach's contract might be the one that starts a pivot in the way these things are viewed. I still have this feeling we end up "getting Zach for free" which @infection will love.

When I'm playing around in trade machine it's kind of hard to make trades for a lot of teams. Some teams just dont have bad/expensive contracts to trade. Like I feel like Orlando makes a lot of sense for him, but who the hell do they trade?
 
That's the one great thing about Utah, they have a lot of contracts that can add up. None of them are extremely bad or extremely long. Clarkson's even has a huge descending value to it. The Jazz are the most flexible trading team on the market and with so many teams not having that, it could be huge for Utah.

I just dont want to use that on Zach LaVine.

We have enough players to do two big deals like that though.

We will see if my trader Danny theory holds true. He may not like Zach but if there was ever a "we can fix him" buy low opportunity... this is it.
 
Trying to look at a couple angles… LaVine is just one year longer than Collins/Sexton. But it’s much harder to move LaVine unless there’s some rehab. But let’s say you rehab him, what kind of return are you realistically be getting back for flipping him? I mean, looking at the Collins’ deal as a rehab, congrats, you’ve upgraded to LaVine. To me it’s like having $40M that you park in CDs for 2% for 3 years and at the end say “made $2.4M off that deal and people think it was dumb lololololol”

Maybe we trade LaVine for Donovan.

What if it was THT and JC we traded for Lavine. Then its two free projects for one mega free mega project.

I think Ainge wants to be the guy that traded his way from a paper clip to a house on craigslist or whatever. I think LaVine would be a guy you are thinking can be an all-star again and keeping. Likely not trading up from there but maybe.
