As a follow up to this, how do we feel about this kind of trade?
CHI Out: Zach Lavine
CHI In: John Collins
UTA Out: John Collins
UTA In: Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter
SAC Out: Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter
SAC In: Zach Lavine
This is just the framework of the trade, feel free to add picks if you feel the need to.
CHI needs to drop some immediate salary, this would enable them to keep Pat Williams and Derozan. SAC needs enough outgoing salary to get Lavine. This would likely be Huerter+Barnes, but they could remove one of those guys and make up the different with some spare parts (Lyles, Mitchell, Duarte, Vezenkov). UTA can take immediate salary this year into cap space. Money wise, I think this makes sense for all three franchises.
