Richardson has 1 year left then can opt out.
Thybulle is ok.. nowhere near LaVine's value.
Z.Smith hasn't done anything at this point in the NBA.
If that's anywhere close to being able to acquire LaVine then Miami needs to talk to Chicago about a trade.
What we need to do is stop thinking we need to get involved with every name that gets mentioned. Richardson is a quality two way player, Thybulle is one of the better perimeter defenders in the league on a rookie deal, and on top of that multiple picks for a guy that hasnt proven to impact winning. Horrible offer thats probably just a rumor.
You said that was an overpayment, I said it was a lowball offer.
Richardson will be a free agent next offseason, he's a 1 year rental, he can go anywhere he wants next offseason.
The other 2 players in the possible fake offer haven't really contributed much.
LaVine just dropped 26 points a game last year, I just mentioned a few days ago about going after him for way less than going after Beal and giving up the farm for him. He's probably the cheapest guy you'll be able to acquire who can give you 25 ppg.
If both are in the open market, I'd rather overpay LaVine to keep him instead of Richardson. Josh may just end up coming back to Miami as a FA.
