LaVine is legitimately playing at an All Star level. He would commanded a max contract if he was healthy last year. The Butler trade looks better every day.

LOL, he's -27 point differential and that's worth a max contract......are you Vlade Divac?
The league's primary focus is shifting away from defense -- what defensive stopper is getting big money? Lavine was an overpay, but you can justify $20M a season if he's putting up 25 a night
Forget the current trend because that will reverse course as soon as Golden State's reign ends.
Personally I don't really care about LaVine or anyone on the roster for that matter because they are terrible overall and will continue to be a for a few years.
I responded to the OP where max contract and Zach were mentioned same sentence, LOL.
He's an injured, volume-scorer, and is just putrid on D. His ultimate slotting is on a contender as the 6th man, coming in for 2nd unit instant office a la Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson back in the day.
Have you seen his shooting percentages? LaVine is shooting 62% and 45% from 3 point range. Beyond efficient. 34 points on 15 shots? MJ would struggle to top that.
Please consider SAMPLE SIZE, and he should not be mentioned in the same sentence as MJ.
Career: 44% field, 37.5% 3 point. And he played a whopping 71 games over the prior 2 seasons combined.
If you want to be a mega-fan that's cool, but he's just not really nearly as great as you may perceive.
Those percentages are still good. You are judging from last year. He is taking the leap.
No, I'm not. When i cited "career", i meant all his NBA games, not only 2017. What leap is he going to take - stay healthy? Play D? It's not in his DNA.
Only the dumbest of the dumb (Kings, Bulls) were foolish enough to give this guy $78 million.
In the absence of any facts to support your assertions we can conclude this is merely a fanboy thread. And if you wan to be his hugest fan, bless you, but don't hold your breath trying to convince anyone else.
If he stays healthy he will be an All Star. The talent and drive is there.

Lavine has had a hot start to the year. You know who else has had a hot start? Niko Mirotic.
