Where can Lavine thrive ?

[RookieStar]

Yeah... a member of the 3 headed monster. He wont get the opponents best defender om him so he can feast. Also, the other 4 players with him can cover his slack defensively.

Orlando would have to give up Franz if they trade for Lavine

Oooh I like that idea! Do you guys want Williams too?

(I know you mean they couldn't afford both, so let's just make it easy for both teams!)

Lol i think you would not find anyone on our board willing to do that. We got the perfect SF already. A 6'11 fluid slashing shooting dude whonis probably one of our best one on one defender. We trade him for Lavine and we open up holes.

Oh of course, my apologies I thought it was obvious that there's no chance. Bulls fans just wish we had him since it was originally our pick and all

Now just get him back soon, that dude is special.

No need to apologize.lol

Besides the thread title said " Where will Lavine thrive" doesnt really say how to get him there.

And yes... our.board probably if able, will send the Bulls.board fruit basket every year for that trade. It really accelerated our timeline. Plus you have a fan fave in Vuc so some of us still root for you guys.

Scuttlebutt has it that Nuggets are interested for a MPJ and Nnaji-centered package.

The Nuggets are the team I believe makes sense.
Otherwise, Porter needs more field goal attempts. Even 20pg if he's shooti g st a high %. Jamal Murray is hurting the team on offense.

Don’t think Houston should do it but if Jalen Green was even Lavine levels of good - they would be a super scary team.

This has often been pointed out and it's true every time. What hasn't as much is why it's smart to get LaVine for Murray's benefit. Unlike MPJ, ZL can create his own shot very well and distributes so it takes pressure off Murray and may open his game up a bit not having to be 'the' guy next to Jokic. Nuggets tied themselves with that Murray contract so now they have to figure out how to best compliment it if they can't get good value back for it. LaVine for MPJ is a quality pressure release valve upgrade for Murray's sake and for that of the Nuggets.

What hasn't been mentioned is the reason Chicago accepts an MPJ+Nnaji package for LaVine?

Marginal savings for giving up the better player and Nnaji's crap contract.

Lavine is really interesting to me. On one hand, he;s a 25 ppg on +3-5 TS% guy who's 6'5" with great athleticism. On the other hand, when i see him beside or playing against other great guys he doesn't seem like the level of player those numbers indicate. When i saw him in the all star games he just looked out of place, which I know is far from a good indicator. But looking at his advanced numbers over the years, they all point to sub-all-star impact, and over a large sample thats hard for me to ignore. So i really don't know. I guess next to Jokic.

Maybe Denver adds a first round pick to the deal...? The problem is that I think the earliest pick they can give up is 2031.

[sisibilio]

Right where he is. Paid like a superstar, doesn't bring any intangibles to the table. Chicago is literally begging him to be worth the money.

Chicago doesn't need to beg any player since they always rank in the top 5 in attendance.

Yep, and that's the only thing Reinsdorf cares about.

Orlando

Makes perfect sense.

Also, thinking Mia if Herro was involved.

Yea i said this earlier on here. Replace Green who is so inconsistent with Lavine and watch out. I dont think Houston would do it like you said because they dont want to be strapped with Lavines contract.

[OkcSinceSGA]

I'd love to see Orlando get a scorer like Lavine. We know their defense is gonna be top 3 or top 5. They NEED a guy who can take over games offensively from the wing.

[brutalitops]

Realisticly he's not a huge downgrade on Garland If you have Mitchell as well on play V play. Just a lot more expensive and defensive lapses

At some point you need a guy who will actually pass the ball.

As stated, the problem is he makes about three times what he is worth to a contender so nobody can afford him that could use him. Like about half the other guys in the league.

Who's he passing it to bro? Josh Giddy or Patrick Williams? He plays for a **** team where he's playing out of position for the team to maximise their chance to make the play in,

Lavine is fine. new rules makes it hard to fit him into a Contender, Hardly his fault. Doesnt make him a "MLE type player and he's ****" He's a borderline all star playing in a team where literally all the talent is in the 2 guard spot with a bunch of players with massive flaws which don't compliment eachother.

And give up a play in spot?? Madness.

There's no guarantee we could out-crap the rest of the east to get out of the play-in.
