overall nba fan here.
I think the nets are sleepers, a few pieces away from really going and making something happen.
One team i have in mind they can buy a star from is the bulls. I expect LaVine to want out by deadline cause bulls are in no man’s land honestly, probably the most confusing team in the league. This trade, on top of 3-4 draft picks from the nets, how does this look?
I think it’s a win win for simple reasons:
Bulls: 2 expiring deals, and a very solid vet for the locker room, and to overall have. Getting 3-4 first rounders would also be very good for rebuilding obviously.
Nets: Zach fucking LaVine. Can honestly switch this team to potential contenders. This team doesn’t seem to get shitted on when they lose, the difference never seems by much. Having another consistent scorer on the team other than Cam Thomas would seem amazing for this team.
How’s this trade? good? bad? shitty? is it realistic enough? I think it is, and a huge Win-Win for both sides.

I personally wouldn’t take that trade as a Nets fan. Lavine doesn’t push this team into a top 3 team in the east, If Brooklyn is shipping out 3 good players, it should be for a superstar, not a fringe top 20 player.
I don’t see the benefit of the trade for the bulls. Also lavine doesn’t move the needle fans need to realize b tier stars like him and kat don’t help you contend.
Based on how he’s playing this season, you’ll have to pry DFS from my cold dead hands.
No
No…Lavine would be great on this team but not if we have to give up any assets for him. The 3 players all have good value for us and could probably be turned into multiple 1st rounders if we sold them separately. Best case scenario is Chicago is awful and are looking to dump his salary next year or at the trade deadline, and we could move Simmons for him so Chicago can get an expiring.
Edit… didn’t realize you want us to give up multiple draft picks on top of those players. Absolutely fucking not, Zack isn’t even worth just the players let alone draft comp, nothing he’s ever done in his career should lead someone to believe he’s worth this much.
Lavine would overlap too much w Thomas, v similar players
Is it crazy I’m not really interested to trade for anyone rn? Just wanna roll with what we got. Our depth is our identity
Why would Chicago do that? Don’t thjnk they are giving up lavine without blue chip talent
Oh hell no. We not giving up DFS lol
Ew no. Do Not Want. Zach Lavine is just not good enough talent wise and that contract is terrible for what you get. I’d rather us wait and look for a legit superstar. I’d rather gamble on Zion if he ever asks for a trade.
It’s way too early in the season for me to already be seeing these infuriatingly awful trade machine posts
Yes without DFS included
