Zach Lavine gets a bad rap... he's not a max player in the new CBA but his 42mil per yr is only 3x years... and cle can cover for his Def w mobley & allen..

Lavine can play off ball & cut..

He can facilitate offense when Don is on bench and of dG don't got it going. Lavine can get a bucket..

And chi attaching 1st in 26.. and 2x 2nds to get off lavine..

Lineup of DG.. Don.. Lavine.. mobley & allen...

Give up okoro & struss & Levert..U u U lose depth

But cle got pieces to step up. Emoni bates.. Craig Porter Jr. Sam merrill.. And jaylon is a steal and a bucket getter at 20..

Lavine could run 2nd unit...

Bulls want off lavine & giving back assets like Levert & struss & okoro are pieces Chi is looking to get back on rebuild.

Thoughts...

U give up depth to go get lavine..

$ off books when Don can resgn in 27.. giving cle max slot $ in fa if it dont work.
