Young or Lavine still an option?

With the lakers making JHS an expiring contract it makes me wonder if a trade is still on the horizon? Right now it looks like we would have a package of Dlo, JHS, Gabe, Vando and two FRP. So far we’re off to a pretty good start and none of these players have really been a big part of it. Dlo has been ok but his scoring has been pretty poor.

So, how do we feel about revisiting the proposed trade for one of these two over paid stars? At the end of the day our depth isn’t what we thought it would be anyway. Why not make improve the talent in the starting 5?

Initially, I wanted Trae young more than Levine because of age. However, with Austin being a primary ball handler now I’m thinking Lavine would be the better fit.

Austin/fultz
Lavine/max
Rui/knecht
Lebron/ wood
AD/howard

I’m thinking we trade dlo, JHS, vando, Vincent and a FRP to Chicago for Levin. This opens up roster spots to sign Fultz and Howard. Also leaving a roster spot open for another trade or waivers.

Another option would be sexton and Kessler for Dlo and JHS. Is Colin good enough to start though? Start dalton at the 2?

The Bulls have been trying to get rid of Lavine for 2 seasons. If anyone wanted him, a trade would have happened by now. He also has the worst contract in the league.

No 1 seems to bringing up BI but I would give it a 40% chance that we try to engage with the Pelicans on a Ingram trade, BI would automatically help us much more then DLO as the 3rd option

if we want trae-connect more than likely will be involved - our offerings are trash.

We do have $25m expiring right now
Salary dump teams,
Bulls for sure, LaVine, Lonzo, Vucevic
Bucks in a month I hope, Portis or BroLo for expiring be ok
Wizard, Kuzma, Jonas… maybe 2nd rd picks be enough
Nets maybe
Toronto maybe

I would be happy if we got Kuzma back he will thrive playing with this team

Young? My mind is drawing a blank. I can only think of Nick Young. LOL!

No, look at their contracts. Over $45 million per year owed. No thanks.

I know Trae and Lavine are expensive but would we really be missing the trash we are giving up? We would probably only miss Dlo’s playmaking.

Max? Hasn’t done anything
Vincent? Hasn’t done anything
Vando? Gave us a couple months of good basketball and has been injured since.

I’d rather have Lavine, Trae or Ingram like someone said. We can get the garbage production that these guys are giving us from minimum guys or players on the waver wire.
