NBA execs like LaVine now, but do they like him well enough to pay him?

If his salary was easier to move, he would already be gone I’m sure

Teams want him, just most can’t come up with a trade that financially matches ZL’s contract

The teams that want and need him likely can't get the salaries to work. If they can get the salaries to work (let's just use the Denver rumor as an example), Bulls are not satisfied with the offer.

Teams that don't need him, but can afford him, probably sending lowball offers.

I'd be very surprised if Zach gets traded by the deadline, but maybe an offseason move is feasible as there's a bit less restriction then on the apron teams.

yep, almost HAS to involve multiple teams to find a trade for ZL that would make all parties happy. Course, the more parties you bring in, the more folks you gotta make happy in it

if Vuc isnt traded though, that would be criminal and might lead to some folks storming 1901 West Madison

Vuc to the Warriors makes a lot of sense, but I have no faith that AK will go for it. You can argue Vuc to OKC also makes sense given their bigs have had health issues, but I almost cringe at the thought of AK fleecing himself trading with OKC again lol

Options are there, but again no faith in the FO to make it happen

Yeah, he’ll even Anthony Davis is saying the Lakers need a center

Imagine being 7 feet tall and claiming you need a center to play next to. Next level soft
