Trade Explanation

LaVine is objectively overpaid, often plagued by the injury bug and severely lacking team success on his resume. He's also by far the most productive player the Warriors could acquire without giving up draft picks or a high-end prospect. In fact, in this hypothetical, they'd be getting back a first-round pick and a new backup point guard (Carter) just for taking LaVine off of Chicago's hands.
