Zach Lavine allows griff to get a value trade , which he typically pursues . Think Lavine and Caruso , plus Maybe a pick or two . The incoming potential on paper looks like more than what is going out .
No one wanted Lavine at trade deadline. His contract is massive and he has constant knee issues. I just don’t see any way how this makes us better. We’re basically getting draft picks to eventually dump another guy not really make our team more competitive or better. Hard pass.

Absolutely no way that I'd trade BI for Lavine.

I’m not saying this is the move I make but I can see griff making it .
Don’t know about lavine knee issues , he had a broken foot this year that kept him out . But the fact that his acquisition cost will be so low and bulls will be motivated to move him is what makes this a griff play .
I don’t see a situation in which we get a better player than Ingram. For all his flaws , he’s a very good player . The contract issue plus missing games that you don’t like about Lavine is essentially the same story with Ingram - Ingram just fits worse with Zion.
I just don’t see a situation in which griff takes steps back in order to get better.
Griff gets a dynamic offensive player and better fit with Zion and how Pels want to play offensively now plus extra assets that he can use in the future or trade immediately to help - it’s the griffin way .
I realize Lavine isn’t going to get anyone excited bc the contract but strictly talent wise and fit wise offensively I’m not sure there is a better player that will be available when it’s all said and done .

Anfernee Simons is another that I could see as a griff target .
Relatively low acquisition cost and not taking a big step back on court .
Would likely need a 3rd team however bc I don’t see blazers wanting BI in rebuild situation.
