Yeah I mentioned that somewhere around here... if it's a contract unload and you don't have to use the Warriors 2nd, there's a strong argument that should be your wing instead of a guy like Covington.
I don't think the injury helps, but if you get the medicals and you are certain he is fine.... I don't think him not playing yet is that big of a factor. He's out of the boot and should be returning somewhere around all star break... So basically right after you trade for him, he's playing again.
I don't think that Lavine is gettable. From what I've seen, Lavine isn't on the market, although I'd love him to be. If there is an opportunity to get him and OPJ as someone presented as a trade you you better be all over it. We have no cap space next summer anyway and Porter is off your cap the year after if you are worried about that.
If you are worried about future cap, 2021 is the only year we should care about atm IMO.
Just pointing out some good numbers on Lavine, 25 ppg, shooting almost 40% from 3 (in line with career averages), high volume PNR player (which would be great if WCS pans out), pretty much career best advanced offensive and defensive metrics across the board. His defensive numbers have been awful until this year.... Meaning at the very least he's trying.
