Lakers get draft capital and take a shot on Lavine. If he pans out this would give them another all star level player. Just I think they don’t accept this cause of the huge risk. But is it worth it?
Bron, Reaves, Lavine, Vanderbilt, AD
Vincent, Christie, Knecht, sign a forward ig
Bulls dump Lavine at the cost of like 4-5 second round picks. This is something they should do. Lavine does not want to be there, the front office doesn’t want him. They get expiring money which is good for them. D’Lo and Levert can be bought out. All this combined with lonzo’s money coming off the books give them room to extend Giddey and potentially make a play or 2 in free agency.
Giddey, White, Ayo, PAW, Matas as the core. Buyout D’Lo and Levert after this trade. Next Guys to trade: Nikola Vucevic, Jevon Carter
IMO Rui is a better player than Caris and a much better fit in Cleveland. He’d be either a backup 4 or starting 3. Craig was a throw in but can be a decent bench wing for Cleveland if they don’t bring back Okoro.
Garland, Mitchell, Rui, Mobley, Allen
Strus, Merrill/Tyson, Craig, Wade, Wood
Lmk your thoughts. Who says no?
