I feel good GTFO my face
I thought he was going to make a devin booker type of leap in 2021-2022 but it never happened. Now he's regressing
Been a fan since I seen him play at ucla too but it's definitely time to blow it up. Lonzo ain't walking through that door any time soon

Lol, all these posts acting like LaVine garbage...add him to Philly, they get better. Add him to LAL they get better.
Now do some of these teams have the assets to make a move for him is a different story...

Bulls need to stop kidding themselves and have a fire sale

They are
Lavine's their biggest commitment. Lonzo's probably gonna be medically retired. Derozan's a UFA after this year IIRC. You can easily move the rest of the parts.
That's why I think trading Lavine away for expirings and picks makes the most sense, can start the reboot swiftly
Lakers could use him because he's the shooter they need to complement the 1st unit, then leads the scoring on the 2nd unit. And he's more athletic than their current guards so they can at least "hope" he learns how to play defense.
LA can't make the trade until their new signings free up in December, but these salaries match:
Bulls get: D-Lo, Reaves, Vincent, Hood-Schifino and a 1st
Lakers get: LaVine and Caruso
New depth chart would be:
PG: Lebron, Caruso, new PG
SG: Lavine, Christie
SF: Prince, Reddish, Vando
PF: Davis, Rui
C: Wood, Hayes
Depending on matchups, crunch time lineup might be:
Lebron
Lavine
Prince
Rui
AD
or
Caruso
Lavine
Lebron
Rui
AD
or
Caruso
Lavine
Prince
Lebron
AD
Lakers would probably have to rush to sign Goran Dragic just so they had someone to run the offense in games where bron sits. Maybe DJ Augustin too for insurance.

I like Lavine a lot, but with Maxey's rise to stardom, his presence isn't as needed as before. I'm also a little cold on trading for him now because the Sixers will fukk up the depth they currently have and will have to part with a key rotation player like Tobi, Melton etc. to make the money match
The time to do was when Harden was here

Yeah the only way I'm doing the deal is if Rui or Vando are not included.
The Lakers would look terrible without wing depth.
Reaves is a fan favorite but I would trade him in this scenario.
But honestly I don't think they really need Lavine.

He should go on a great defensive team that lacks offensive firepower. That way they can hide his defensive flaws and he can focus on scoring
Magic makes a lot of sense too.
Pros and cons with this rotation
They'd have to get a PG in the buyout market or something cause LeBron can't be your only solid playmaker on this team with Reaves and DLO gone in that lineup
I'll pass. He'll stunt Vassell and to an extent, Wemby's growth.
