    Nice stats but can't lead his team to wins. Isn't he getting paid like 25-30% of the cap? A big hell no. If he were coming at MLE money, then yeah.

    I would eat a lot of contract if it came with a top 3 pick this years draft

    As much as I want this to happen, FVV has a no trade clause.

    Contract expires after next year and players we could send out are all on multi-years...

    Lavine is the 15th highest paid player behind Kawhi & Lebron. More per year than Luka Doncic & Ant Edwards.

    The Bulls had a much better record after trading Lavine.. The Kings defense after getting Lavine, dropped 6 spots in rank, in only 8 games.

    Lavine made sense last year in a straight position swap of Jalen Green for Lavine. Since Durant takes the Jalen role now, and Lavine doesn't do complementary "role player" duties, he's turning into a Bradley Beal negative asset

    Fun fact, despite playing in his 12th season, and spending the majority of it in the sorry east, Zach Levine has managed a whopping 1 playoff win. That magical season the Bulls won 46 game with him is also his only winning season in 12 years.

    In a league where over half the teams make the postseason, he's a special kind of empty stats guy. When all is said and done he may end up the GOAT of empty stats.

    Would love him as a buyout guy but that's way too many pieces for him. Schroeder and Russ are right there on the same team and would be way easier to match. Would absolutely love for them to add Cardwell though. Low-key the reason we lost to them that one time.

    Just random thought…

    Do we all sound like this when we have random thoughts? Are there different levels of randomness?
    Good, Better, Best
    …vs…
    Bad, Worse
    …vs…
    Share, Maybe, Keep it to yourself

    on a regularly injured team trading playable depth for one of the worst contracts owned by a player that doesn’t fit with the team, the coaching, or short or long term goals of the team.
