I think we’ve seen enough to know he is not the guy you can build around, but I’m pretty confident he can play next to the guy you build around. I think he’d be bonkers here.
But at the end of the day, my pitch is this: whatever big swing trade they make in a year or two, I bet it is for a player nowhere close to as good as LaVine.
All the low-percentage 3pt shots Luka takes at the end of games; Lavine makes them at a 40% clip. Highest percentage based on degree of difficulty and volume. Even if the knee injury is starting to slow him down, he´d still thrive next to Luka. This would be an EASY deal to make if these morons had given Brunson 120/4.
Brunson + Bullock for Lavine, I think the Bulls say yes without any hesitation. It´s unbelievable.
Now with the Kleber extension making him ineligible for this season you basically have no way to construct a reasonable trade at the moment.
