Chicago is open to trading Zach LaVine

I mean he literally had no trade market. None. They gave him away. Now, though I think there are 4 or 5 teams that might be interested and would probably give us something back better than Rudy Gay and a 2nd. Lakers could use him in the worst way.
I’d move him in exchange for them dropping the protections on the pick. Looking at their cap, though, there’s not a great salary matching for that so it’s have to be a larger deal.
 
Dude was literally on the block for like 3 years. He's tradeable, but his market isn't universal.
He was on the block but the asking price was bonkers. Last year he became a risky target for a contending team due to his finger injury and resulting bad 3P shooting... which is why we got him on the cheap.

He has rehabbed a lot of his value already by hitting his 3s, and would surely be a positive asset in a trade (future salary cap increases accounted for).

Yeah... I don't see that many teams going after a 6'5'' paint player who can't protect the rim and will be making $27 million next season.
 
We are nearing the time where Lavine's stock is so low that Chicago either sends him home or trades in the Trader Danny Discount Zone. His game last night was putrid. Reports are the Bulls are prioritizing trading LaVine over everything else and want players back so they can see how it looks with Caruso and DeRozan... they are looking to continue mediocrity and not rebuild. I can see them talking themselves into John Collins being the best player they can get for him...

In other news... I'm grateful for DA even though he isn't perfect.

Putrid for sure. LaVine had a total of 2 points with FG% 11.1% and plus/minus -22 in 25 minutes playing time. What's going on with the Bulls? Locker room issues or something else?

It sounds like everything. I think the players know what they have ain't it and that knowledge is becoming evident.
 
I don't want LaVine. Let him go somewhere else.
I don't either... but if the costs is Collins and Clarkson I can talk myself into it. And if I can talk myself into it purely out of value... then you bet your *** Ainge can talk himself into it. I think the Lakers are holding out hope that Kyrie becomes available but they might be the only team willing to save the Bulls here.
