Classic big (box score) numbers on bad teams guy who contributes little to winning...and ruins 2021 room. With that said, Chicago expects more than our trash in return.Man, as far as his ability to score, he's efficient, that's got to mean more than just empty box scores. All I'm saying is he's a much better offensive option player than THJ before coming here. If all it takes is THJ and 2025 first to get him, color me intrigued, cause I think he can do much more than THJ did for us last year.
I've been all about defense all offseason long, I can't deny the need for another creator though, and LaVine would qualify IMO. He's not such a big name that you have to break the bank for him and he's still very young. Might be hard to coach the Min/Chi out of him though which might be an issue.
As far as money in 21? Let's get the yes before we figure it out. Still ways to get to max (which if LaVine works out, we don't need max money anyway, we have our top 3 guys. We just need the money for the other 2 starters) with so much money out there and teams striking out on the big name targets.
If Powell proves to be at least useful, we can trade one of Curry, Kleber or DFS with him to get the right value to be a straight up trade for space and a 2nd. Then the other two can be traded for protected firsts and space.
