Why the Lakers do it: Zach LaVine by himself does not fix the Lakers woes. With the right pieces LaVine makes the Lakers a serious threat. Nick Richards is at the value of a reported 2 second rounders asking price. A perfect fit next to Anthony Davis at Center either as a starter or a backup. Davion Mitchell the most highly touted defensive point guards in the league has improved his playmaking this year playing w/ heavy minutes for the raptors who can be the starter either between him or Reaves next to LaVine in the backcourt. Torrey Craig who is out of the rotation but highly coveted for his length at the wing position and his good defense and can knock down a 3 if you’d like him to. Seth Curry, a veteran guard who can play the point and shoot and decent efficiency.

Why the Hornets do it: Max Christie. An intriguing offensive spark who desperately needs a change of scenery out of LA who is valued at 3 second round picks it is believed as he is still young with improvement and potential untapped. Jaxson Hayes comes in as a center which is needed for depth for the hornets with Mark Williams out for the foreseeable future.

Why the Bulls do it: Getting off Zach LaVine and achieving a young talent and second round draft capital. It is not the first Bulls fans would want but Zach himself deserves to be moved as much as he loves Chicago he deserves to go home to LA. Getting Hood-Schfino in the guard tandem of Giddey, White, and Dosunmo is one where Hood-Schifino can grow to hopefully a promising player with a younger headed team.
