Clippers are in a super tought spot after losting PG. A bet on an undervalued star—sacrificing nothing of too much value—is the kind of gamble that they need to take. Lavine was fantastic his last healthy season, an offensive weapon capable of playing with or without the ball. He would make the clippers offensive far more dynamic, and although the Harden-Lavine backcourt is missing some defense having Kris Dunn, DJJ, and Mann behind them could really make up for that.
While the Bulls aren’t getting anything of real high value here (Powell could probably fetch a late first or something from a contender) they just need to move on from Lavine. Coby White and Ayo deserve to be the starting backcourt, and Lavine’s in the way of that. This jumpstarts their rebuild—and important step.
