Chicago is open to trading Zach LaVine

[Elizah Huge]

I dug into this earlier out of curiosity, and it seems to me that LaVine might've been part of the reason Lauri asked to be traded out of Chicago. LaVine's unwillingness to pass the ball to his teammates and coaching decisions put Lauri in a position/role where he felt he couldn't play to his potential. In any case, I'm against trading for Zach also because his contract is too rich, and as a poor defender, he is not a two-way player. When Danny builds our team, I want at least one of our starter guards to be a strong defender.

I don’t know. I don’t see how they would still be good friends off the court if he disliked playing with him so much that it lead to him asking out.

Well, I guess he could be “friendly” with him but still not eager to play with him. Idk.

I just have to think that at more than 40 million per, there will be little interest from the Jazz, even if the trade price is a bargain. The Jazz like reclaimation projects, but not overly expensive ones, it seems.

40 mil isn’t **** compared to what’s coming.

Collins is an expensive reclamation project. THT wasn’t real cheap when you consider the quality of the project.

I would trade 2 of our rookies plus filer for Zach in a heartbeat.

I haven’t kept up. Is he still on pace for that $20M/yr extension?

The obvious Lavine trade is Collins/THT/Hendricks. The Bulls can spin it that they are starting the rebuild off with the 9th overall pick, which is likely higher than any pick they will get for Lavine

If they want to take Sexton over THT that would be preferable to get off the salary

Collins isn't a reclamation project. He's a contract for trades

Lol... you get expiring or short deals for trades. When you lookup reclamation project trades in the dictionary the example they give you is John Collins.

I think Sexton of JC most likely has to be in there. If Zach did come here JC is headed to the bench. Now you have JC and Sexton backing up LaVine... not ideal.

Collins has two years left with an additional player option. That could likely get declined given contracts will be sizeable at that time

He's the definition of filler. He's good enough and on a reasonable and short enough deal not be a negative in a trade. If the Jazz were trying to reclaim his value why are they playing him next to a non floor spacing center and another 4?

If the Jazz didn't trade for Collins they would have less pathways to make these big players deals. That's why they got him
