Trade ideas

I don't think LaVine is a ball hog, he just isn't a ball mover. For a primary scoring option he has fairly low usage.

He’s actually a really talented player who can play in different situations. Unfortunately I think he’s just not smart/engaged enough and has spent too long in a bad situation. His habits are probably irreversible….but if he spent most of his career with Miami or something like that he’d be a real stud.
 
Kind of a crazy KO stat: He has never had a negative DBPM in his career outside of his rookie season.
 
ALSO, this https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/...den-state-warriors-og-anunoby-lauri-markkanen

the ringer suggests a trade between GSW and UTA...which I kinda like.. ☝️
Kuminga, Moody, Payton II and 2 Uprotected FRP's.
for
Lauri Markkanen
****kkkkkkkkk no

1. I'm not giving Lauri to the Warriors
2. That's not enough. I dont believe in Kuminga and I dont view Moody as being good enough to headline a Lauri trade.
3. Has to be 3 picks to trade Lauri if there is no potential all-star headlining the package.
 
Just a random stray on Lavine. the Rights to Ricky Sanchez brought up a straight trade of Harris for LaVine and both guys passed without a lot of thought. No picks involved and they hate Harris (they constantly complain about him... hate might be strong but they don't value him much at all). The contract was the issue. Just food for thought.

You would have to be an incredibly specific type of team to really value LaVine.

1. You would have to have someone on your roster at a high salary who you view as being an unimportant contributor
2. Your team would have to lack a legitimate scoring option outside of your primary creator or have overall poor shooting
3. Your team is probably low on assets and this is the only game changing type trade available.

Just dont know if that team exist. Orlando still makes the most sense to me, but they are so early in their process they would probably feel silly about going after LaVine.
