I have hard time believing that they wouldn't ask Lauri for his opinion on Lavine given that they played so long together. Especially with the contract extension talks.
No way
I'm sure that was more on the coaching staff....
When I ask myself who would be better in the playoffs ? I can picture Hendricks doing his best PJ Washington 3 years from now. And I think Hendricks is more talented that PJ.
How do you picture Keyonte? I picture him getting bullied in the playoffs.

More reluctant then Key?
A guy who scores
As a follow up to this, how do we feel about this kind of trade?
CHI Out: Zach Lavine
CHI In: John Collins
UTA Out: John Collins
UTA In: Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter
SAC Out: Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter
SAC In: Zach Lavine
This is just the framework of the trade, feel free to add picks if you feel the need to.
CHI needs to drop some immediate salary, this would enable them to keep Pat Williams and Derozan. SAC needs enough outgoing salary to get Lavine. This would likely be Huerter+Barnes, but they could remove one of those guys and make up the different with some spare parts (Lyles, Mitchell, Duarte, Vezenkov). UTA can take immediate salary this year into cap space. Money wise, I think this makes sense for all three franchises.
Why do we do this?

I’d prefer to keep the young guys if we can. At least for value and cheap contracts to fill our depth after chasing a top 3.
Barnes/Huerter can easily be seen as more desirable players/salary than Collins. Way more teams looking for shooting wings than offensive bigs.
Keyonte needs to become a phenomenal scorer to compensate for his atrocious defense. I have not seen any signs that he can be phenomenal. He has a much clearer path to become a decent scorer with bad defense, i.e. a younger Clarkson. And a younger Clarkson would be a bench player on a playoff team.

very well said. and so we should package George and Collins to a decent player in return.

TJ says not much to this rumor. Downplayed interest.
For some reason, I think Hardy might get more out of Lavine+Lauri pair than what Bulls coaches ever could.
That being said, I'm super nervous about this trade if it happens. Rehabilitating Collins value was much easier than doing that with Zach who has a negative rep that you would also need to at least mitigate to make his contract justifiable.
So this is way more committal than the JC trade, and thus MUST pan out if we ever want to build a contender with Lauri et al.

I actually think the opposite. LaVine'z value is extremely easy to bring back at least in terms of basketball. If LaVine is healthy the Jazz are probably a competitive team for at least the play in. The issue is can he stay healthy. I think if teams were guaranteed 70 games of LaVine and post season availability more teams would be interested

Bruh, no need to post this ****. We need to debate things to death that are never going to happen. It's preparation for the coming evolution into AI and GBI.
