As far as your off-season predictions go, NYG, i think Chicago is going to have a really hard time moving ZL’s contract. It’s just too big for a one-way player that has questions about his health.

If Chicago is willing to pay to move him, sure, but I doubt that’s true. And while Houston may be about fed up with Jalen Green, I doubt they want to bring in the grown up version of him that still doesn’t play defense for a gazillion dollars a year.

I think Jalen Green/FVV+ filler for Coby White/Lavine has legs. Move FVV to like detroit for some assetss to send Chicago,

Yeah no. The last thing Detroit needs is another small guard.

I think the Bulls needs an extreme makeover. I don't get the point of keeping DeRozan and Lavine. They need to reset and enter a full rebuild. I think Green is the best return they can have for Lavine.

I think the assets go the other direction to Chicago.
LaVine is a known commodity.
Chicago is getting 3 role players that most likely aren’t with them at the end of next season. Chicago is banking on J. Green being good enough or improving with a change of scenery.
Comes down to the value difference of LaVine and Green.

That's exactly why he has little to no value. Relative to his salary he does not impact winning enough. Getting out of his deal for expiring contracts is about the value he should have, IMO.
