Should The Jazz Target Zach Lavine?

Something Locke mentioned this morning that I agree with is that Lavine could be a good trade chip for us in the down the road if we try to trade for a bigger star. I think teams would be more interested in a package centered around Lavine and draft picks than they would say Sexton, Collins, Clarkson, etc.

What is the market for Lavine though?

I personally think Locke is off on that. Teams that would value Lavine highly are the teams that are already in contender status, and they dont trade away bigger stars. Of course there are the trade demand scenarios where someone wants out and the team he is in still wants to or has to compete (e.g. Nets last year)... but even in those cases Lavine needs to be a good fit for them to get the correct value back.
 
He is significant player that has made it with bad coaching. Maybe Hardy's staff can unlock more but it is risky. However if he can retain a high value, he might be good in another trade. One more thing, if Lauri likes playing with him then that alone may make it worth it.

As far as I understood, after all I am on the Lauri bandwagon, LaVine pretty much suffocated Lauri's game. I don't have any recollection of them meshing up together.

LaVine is a BIG NO for me.

Im pretty positive it was coaching, not LaVine.

Billy D is a good coach, so he has had good coaching the last few years. The issue is the roster construction has been *** since Lonzo went down. They just dont have a whole lot of talent and his co-star cant space the floor for him.

Would honestly rather go after Lonzo (no picks) and just pray that his groundbreaking surgery has groundbreaking results.

It’s a losing proposition to dwell on this. Either you’ll be down and blue for not getting Ball or you’ll get excited and end up with blue balls for not getting him. There’s no winning.
