What Would Have to be Included in a LaVine Trade to Make it Acceptable?

A bunch of first round picks and no Levine.
 
So I just gotta say, I'm super skeptical of this rumor. Might happen. I don't hate the trade if what's going out is John Collins and Jordan Clarkson.

But Philadelphia's front office already told their local sports reporters that they're not interested in LaVine, haven't been interested in LaVine. And meanwhile you have the local Chicago reporters saying that the trade market is deepening for LaVine and Utah and Philly are heavily involved.

If I were a GM wanting to drive up interest on a player who, due to his salary isn't developing much interest on the trade market, I'd leak that the team with the most draft assets in the league was interested too. Guess we'll see. I wouldn't be shocked either way, but I don't see Ainge giving up anything more than a second here along with the outgoing salary.
Yeah, going to take my victory lap. View: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10125690-zach-lavine-trade-rumors-jazzs-interest-in-bulls-star-dismissed-by-nba-insider

JC gotta go. There's simply not enough minutes for anotber non-defender in what's already the worst defensive backcourt in the league.
 
Looks like Chicago is willing to put a first rounder in now.

Honestly, I think about Clarkson/Collins for LaVine for that. Only reason I see to say no is if you are actually concerned about winning too much with LaaVine.

When has a team with Lavine on its roster been associated with winning?
 
As far as buy low reclamation projects… JC x2 for Zach and a real first is good value. I don’t worry about winning too much as much as if he ends up broken long term. There is an extra year on that deal and if his knee/ankle/foot are bad then it’s a lot. It would aid the tank if he was hurt but it’s a lot of cap going forward.
