I really think this makes sense. Not every team can be a title contender. I’m sure char is tired of sucking, and they want to win some games. They could REALLY use a lead scorer there. This lineup could be very solid
Ball/Micic
Lavine/Mann
Miller/Martin
Bridges/French rookie
Williams/Richards

Send GWill (assuming Char doesn’t want his $ on the books) and I think Char has the cap space. If not, they have Martin’s $ as well.
MAYBE the Bulls send the Port 1st, to save the money and move on from Lavine-but Char could use the talent upgrade

Just fyi, we just traded for Josh Green after targeting him last trade deadline. We needed a POA defender on the wing and there's a high likelihood that he starts.

You keep repeating this nonsense not every team can be a title contender.

Feel free to nominate your team to take one for the league then. We aren't your punch line.

We'd much rather be patient with hope than quit and take on massive salary and years for a non difference maker.

Attach a couple 1sts and the conversation about Lavine to these rebuilding teams opens up. Otherwise, just pray the Lakers become incredibly desperate at some point.

If not, let Lavine be the Bulls tank commander for 2.5 years until he's an expiring contract at the trade deadline. That seems to be his best role in the league today anyways.

we seem pretty content tanking this season. I don't think we actually will tank if everyone is healthy, but our offseason moves indicate pretty strongly that playoffs aren't really the goal this year.

Chicago should play LaVine and have him prove he's healthy, and he'll fetch positive value at the deadline.

Levine missing 1/2 the games that the bulls paid for does not win games for the hornets. Nor does it appease the fanbase.
