Lavine for BI

Massive contract and doubt he wants to come here. I agree does fit better.

He shoots threes and dunks. Not really a midrange guy. His ballstopping may be more of a byproduct of the dumb bulls offense more than anything. But he is much more efficient scorer. Hes not a facilitator but that might fit better with Zion facilitating.

Lavine is worse at defense and rebounding

Not interested in Lavine, but if Bulls are blowing it up I’ll take Vuc and Caruso for Jonas, Larry and Kira

I imagine Caruso has a good bit of value, and they can likely get at least a 1st for him and probably more.

Of course you would.

Well Lavine would fit in great in New Orleans because he's had on and off knee problems over the past few years

He's certainly a better scorer, but one of the main issues I hear about BI is he's a ball stopper and the offense flows a lot better when he's out, but Lavine is even more of a ball stopper and not at all a facilitator even compared to BI.

There's a difference between ball stopper b/c he shot a 3, which he does at 38%, or gets to the goal and finishes at near 70%FG and shoots 6FTs a game, and.....
stopping the ball by slowly backing your guy down in a 1 on 1 situation where you're going to take a fadeaway mid range shot that you are going to finish at 43%.


And i do'nt care what anyone says, Lavine is a much better defender than BI. At least I know that i've seen Lavine actually try on defense in the olympics, and actually look really good at it. Maybe he doens't give that effort for 30mpg 82 games a year, but i know he'll give it in the playoffs.
