Absolutely.

That's why my avatar has a cat wearing a Clippers hat doing copious amounts of coke just to cope.

Just read that the Lakers are interested in a couple of Bulls players and neither is named Zach LaVine.

Looks like they're more interested in DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso.

LaVine just doesn't seem like a winner.

He has also seemed kinda disinterested this season in the couple of times I've seen the Bulls play.

Yeah, the talent is undeniable, and he puts up solid stats. But they don't seem to translate to wins.

Apparently he is interested in the Lakers, Heat and Sixers...but on any of those 3 (and really, any contender), he'd be the 3rd option. $45 million per seems like a lot for a 3rd option...especially when he doesn't really help you win.

Saw an article saying that very thing, you can’t take that contract on for a guy that is the third best player on your team.

Saw that a few days ago.

And Lavine needs the ball in his hands.....

I think he’s a good fit in any of those spots

But yeah Lakers don’t pay the tax anymore so they’re probably out

But if you think russell is a good fit, lavine is

Philly just adds more fire power

The heat is less ideal but moving Lowry clears time

But having him herro and butler is enough ball handlers to make it work despite none being a true pg

It would be a fun experiment

Caruso fits the heat better but also isn’t a true pg

Not sure who else would fit that spot

For Derozan, Rui +Gabe works salary wise (obviously a 1st round pick will be involved too). D'lo in place of Rui also works but they need to keep a PG. But how much does that really help them? Rui can provide interior scoring, especially if AD goes down for any period of time which he's prone to do. Derozan is a wing scorer, but that's about it. He doesn't really shoot 3s much either, more of a midrange guy so that doesn't help the Lakers out either.

Caruso would be the better option. On top of the pick, there's a couple of options to move around for him.

And they definitely need to stay away from Lavine. He's no better than D'Lo this season but on a far worse contract.

No. He’s what laker fans claim russell is lol

No. He’s what laker fans claim russell is lol

I'm not sure Lavine would even be a positive addition over D Lo.

And what is it that Lakers fans claim D-Lo is?
