He’s gone by the deadline. Too big of a risk holding him until the offseason

He’s not playing for a reason. Rich Paul don’t move like that
You're just talking to talk. Elaborate on what the fukking risk would be waiting for the off-season?

His value is as low as it ever as been. If he comes back and buys in to what the team is doing he will thrive and he will have revamped his image and teams will trade for him.

You don't just salary dump players of the caliber of Zach LaVine. The fact that this needs to be explained is comical.

Chicago either has an engaged LaVine with an emerging star in Coby moving forward, or they get more value back for Zach after he performs better. They have time, there is no rush here 😂

So what’s the logic rational of why Cleveland should do the Mitchell for Lavine trade considering there would be better offers on the market without having to take on Lavine’s contract and the issues that come along with it?
Drop the deals you see that come to mind for Mitchell

Brooklyn for example can offer a better deal with picks and young players than Chicago can and they wouldn’t have to take on Lavine’s deal in the process.

That Lavine looks shytty so far, so you’re going to be hard pressed to get Cleveland to take it even if Mitchell says he wants out.

Bulls fans thinking


Bruh.... YOU'RE the one who's been spewing the bullshyt propaganda about how scrub ass midget Coby White is actually better than him for WEEKS now; no one's been "devaluing Lavine" more on here than you buddy. :dead: Dumb ass Bulls fans cry about Lavine's effort/defense/ability to win playoff games for 3+ years straight, bench him and go on a winning streak with a backup/bust in his place in the lineup... and think that they're entitled to a superstar haul when they finally admit to themselves he's overrated and make him available in trade. Y'all are getting nothing but salary filler and some heavily protected/far out 1st rounders from a team that won't be in the lottery; not Reaves, most CERTAINLY not an actual all-star, all-nba player like Donovan Mitchell for him. Stop the cap, stop the COPE, the deluded essays, and the whining and accept it. :heh::umad:
:mjlol:@ a 6'5 combo guard being considered a midget

A year ago Laker fans were entertaining trading AD for LaVine after their shyt start to the season. A year later these same people think they are entitled to him without giving up Austin Reaves 😂

Coby White's emergence doesn't mean trade Zach for trash and salary filler. If completely broken and injured Ben Simmons netted Philly James Harden a few years ago, AK would be a damn fool to just dump Zach due to impatience.

Even with all the shyt said about Zach, I've been consistent in saying, the Bulls style of play right now is perfect for him. It's a matter of whether or not he wants to embrace it. I've also said he could always come back. Dude has been on the bench this whole time cheering these dudes on and seeing what's working.

If I'm his camp, the logical play would be to come back and show the league you're not worthless and a cancer.

What other choice does he have considering the team(s) that he’d like to go to aren’t clamoring for his services at the current price point?

Yeah you’re right, hes going to come back and start caring again to increase his value for the offseason. Or better yet, he’ll volunteer to be a 6 man for a couple of years.

I was wrong. :hubie:Good luck brehs

I mean from jump this situation was always something that everyone said wouldn't happen at least until after the Jan 15 deadline.

A lot can happen around the league within these next 2 months. His options are limited because if he milks an injury to sit, it'll turn potential teams off. I guess he could just completely check out and be like I'm not playing again here... Then he tarnishes his rep further.

So honestly, this played out terribly for him. If the Bulls completely bottomed out since he sat maybe there is more pressure to trade him for whatever. That's not the case now

He's not coming off the bench. corner was trolling with that comment.

But yes, for his sake, if he really wants out, the nikka has to prove it because the current narrative on him is that he's a loser and his team plays better without him.

What more incentive could there possibly be for him at this point???
