Zach LaVine is a casual fan's dream player.
A guy who can score points, but doesn't do anything else well enough to elevate a team to make them serious championship contenders.

At this point, the ideal use for Zach LaVine is as a 6th man off the bench to score points with the 2nd unit.

He's this generation's Gilbert Arenas at his best. This generation's OJ Mayo at his worst.

I'd normally agree, but Nurse has Tobias and Oubre playing literally, the best basketball of their lives.

I wanna see what the trade offers would look like :ehh:

Makes sense for the Bulls to get rid of him, they're going nowhere.

What team trades for him though? Long injury history and he's basically a scorer who provides nothing else of value when he's on the court

I guess the Knicks would like him but at what cost?

They crossed my mind but they got a young squad finally forming a winning culture don't know if they'd want to muck that up by bringing in Lavine AND does his game compliment Banchero I don't think so last thing you want is to piss off your young franchise player over a lite skint Joe Smith
ehh, we need a dog man...All of the players we have now are soft in one way or another...We will nevrer advance to the second round of the playoffs with this current core...id be ok trading Gary Harris or Jalen Suggs and pick considerations for Levine

The Lakers would be idiots to trade for him. Dude does not impact winning at all.
Put him with LeBron and it’s a whole different situation. The real issue would be whether or not he could handle the overwhelming scrutiny that comes both with being a Laker and with playing with Bron.
