Lavine?

Any Lavine takers? He is under contract for the next 3/4 years (player option). Lifts your talent level Immediately. Obviously he is not the ”future” but if we are trying to make the playoffs, he could really help.

What would you trade for him? Obviously you need to add contracts…THT (send him home), Sexton and Olynik gets this deal done with 1 or 2 FRP.

would you do it? I think I would…
 
Yes - but I’d prefer if it were a guard consolidation trade. Ideally lose two of Clarkson, THT, Dunn or Sexton.
 
I think it's too early in the rebuild to make a trade like this. While it raises our overall talent level it doesn't take us to contender status. I think the team should honestly tank one more year while working to trade away the pieces that don't fit. Let Keyonte develop. See what you have in Hendricks and Sensabaugh. Can they fit next to Lauri and Kessler? Figure out who the core players will be moving forward and make sure it's a group that won't be played off the court come playoff time then make a move like this
 
Fun facts:
The other day when he dropped 51 points on the Pistons he had 0 in the assist column (only Klay has ever done 50+/0).

Previous day Raptors had shut him down to the tune of 8 points on 14 FG.

Heres the kicker:
Chicago lost to Detroit by 16 and beat the Raptors in OT by 1.
 
He does have a pretty hefty salary but I think I could be convinced to make the trade. If THT's defense was as good as it should be I would want to keep him out of the trade, but it hasn't been for whatever reason. Lauri and Zach have already been done, but I think Zach also gives the jazz a much more intriguing trade chip to upgrade with.

Probably the playoffs.

This purgatory business sucks. I’m here for a rebuild and play the young guys…I’m also here for a run at the playoffs, but this middle of the road trash is not it.
When you trade for John Collins, imo, you made the decision to try to make the playoffs. So make moves to make the playoffs. Trading for Lavine doesn’t mean that THIS is the move to get us to a title, he is just a piece like Collins that we can move at a later date and use in the meantime to get to the playoffs.

maybe he’s not the answer but an upgrade at point guard is absolutely necessary if the playoffs are the goal this year.

We don’t own any of our own picks until 2027 because of the protections on the 2024 pick we sent to OKC for Favors(the pick conveys to OKc in 25 and 26 before going away). That’s why I want us to make the playoffs this year. So we can have our picks starting in 2025. We are kind of hamstrung at the moment.

Also, the rumors that the jazz were in on Jrue makes me think Danny is thinking the same thing. Make the playoffs, own all of our picks. Plus the 2024 draft isn’t “great”.

Lavune is the opposite of a PG

As why is it so hard for people to sacrifice the playoffs so we can win a chip. Why is this still a thing just trying to make the playoffs?
