Russ would be the second creator that Cade hasn’t had and he has even been shooting the ball really well this season. He also maintains your defensive and toughness identity and team also gets cheaper. The pick you’re giving up would likely not be an important rotational player in this team in the coming seasons anyways.

Get a first because you’re rebuilding and also get a little worse to help the tanking. Plus there is a possibility where Lavert plays well for you and you can flip him for something when he’s an expiring contract next year.
