Apparently the Bulls are now trying to attach a first round pick to entice team to trade for LaVine, and they're still getting rejected. It's been reported that there is "no market" for LaVine.
Well... I guess we'll have to ride this one out.
P.Will seemed to play better when LaVine wasn't out there, for whatever reason. With both players likely being back, and with the contract Williams just got.... it'll be interesting.

Bulls would be stupid to attach a 1st round pick to move LaVine. Terrible signing by AK who should be fired already, but at this point, you keep LaVine and hope he could build up some value by the trade deadline. Without DeMar - and if he stays healthy - I could see him being productive offensively and some playoff/borderline playoff team getting desperate

No way I'm giving up a first to move LaVine that's insane. But I find it hard to believe teams like Charlotte, Detroit, Orlando, Jazz etc would not be jumping at the opportunity to improve their team while adding a first for their trouble. Zach is not Ben Simmons.

With a core like that, this team could put up 80 points per game!

Bulls offered the Warriors LaVine for Paul and Wiggins. The Warriors declined, then waived Paul.

I always knew that resigning LV was a massive mistake. Nobody wants to give up much for his big contract

I'd rather keep Lavine and hope he recovers 100% from injury and shows something on the court and then can be traded than to trade him with a 1st.
Teams get desperate all the time.. hell, his market could open back up after all the good FAs are gone and teams are struggling to make any sort of moves.

In a few seasons his contract isn't even going to be much.

true or false....
you said when ZL was coming up for his extension that you would reluctantly give him the max extension over losing him for nothing
everyone was on board with the extension, so to now look back in hindsight and claim it was a terrible signing just seems silly when you yourself would have made the same move

This doesn't even work money wise.
I'm honestly liking this offseason so far.

I’m guessing the next move is a DeMar S&T to either the Lakers or Clippers

Not me, as the resident ZL hater on this board I never wanted him on this team in the first place, as you well recall.
To clarify, I don't "love" or "hate" any athlete because I'm a grown-ass man, but I hated the fact that his style of play never made his teammates any better and he was a stat-filler, and his D was shite (though it has improved) and he had an injury history.
Now I have conceded more than once that I was wrong about his initial 4 year $80 million contract, but ultimately he has become an albatross. I do NOT blame the player for this predicament, the blame lays entirely in the FO.
I just wish the fans would stop packing the home games otherwise there is no financial incentive for these dipshits to ever change course.

this is true....you were the 1 person on here vehemently against it. you were alone in that opinion from what i recall. not that everyone here thought he was worth that max contract $$, but they felt it was the better alternative to letting him walk for nothing

I was for signing him even if the team would be mid as usual but it was mostly cause of these crazy trades netting tank teams 2-4 first round picks for players. It kind of nuts everyone is tradeable in this league rn except lavine. I really didn’t see that coming

which is why i dont buy the whole narrative that he is untradeable
i think it was @Axl Rose that mentioned how a trade of wiggins and paul for lavine wouldnt even work despite it being reported that it was proposed and declined by GS. i dont buy that report
