Lakers-Bulls (not LaVine)

[zimpy27]

Bulls get Rui, DLo, Vincent, Hayes, LAC25SRP
Bulls get Rui as more forward depth while
DLo could be directed to a 3rd team if Bulls aren't interested.


Lakers get Vucevic, Ball
Lakers take a chance on a Ball recovery as he's a good fit with Reaves, LeBron, Davis.
Vucevic also offers big that could play some minutes with Davis.

I can’t imagine that LA will want to take that massive of a risk on Lonzo, and deal with the terrible ups and downs of a rehab year for a guy that hasn’t played in years, with Lebron turning 40 this year. That’s a LOT of rust and pretty much throws in the towel on this year?

Just playing with the idea of risk/reward. It's unlikely for sure.

Maybe Vando+Vincent for Ball is a risk worth taking since both the Vs were injured last year too.

0% chance Lakers have any interest in Lonzo that doesn't involve Chicago buying him out.

Chicago perspective here, not in a million years would I take on either of Gabe or Vando for the Lonzo expiring, let alone both

[dcstanley]

This makes the Lakers a significantly worse team. DLO and Rui are both better players than Vucevic and no guarantee Lonzo ever even plays again.

[Dez]

What's the incentive for Chicago?

[Dr Aki]

Lol Lakers say no without a couple of 1sts

Unlike most I see why the Lakers would want Vucevic, it puts AD at the 4 and backup 5 and gives Labron a not complaining veteran. As a Bulls fan I'd have to ask why the Lakers want Lonzo Ball as a question mark playing or a $21M sitting salary, and they have no more idea than the Bulls which he will be for his remaining one year.

The Bulls don't care much for the return, no matter how many people keep posting the same thing. Sure they start Rui at the 4, but they get Vincent for $11.5M to sit next to his $6.5M clone of a 6 foot shooting PG Jevon Carter deep on the Bulls bench. And DLo who wanting to play to audition for his next contract is going to be very unhappy coming off the bench behind Giddey, Lavine, White and Dosunmu. How do people keep posting the same deal and not take even a glance at where it leaves the Bulls with 8 guards on the roster. Trade machine junkies are fools

This post is fine except for the last couple of lines ... try not to take shots, even if you're not calling out a specific person or fanbase by name.
