LaVine should net a good return, but is paid as a #1 while looking like a guy who is more scorer and 3rd best player on a good team. That’s the problem, no contender is trading their top guys for him, and young guys don’t make enough to match salary. Everyone here laughed at Herro as a trade asset, is LaVine really all that different of a player?
Vuc is good, but still likely doesn’t have much of a market across the league. Grizzlies make sense on paper for this year, but idk what the package would be to make it work.
DeMar is a better player than trade asset. He’s kind of like Vuc in that regard, where a lot of teams would probably love to have them, but aren’t likely to give a ton to get them.
Probably a mix of other teams fans throwing out trash offers, and you overrating what these guys’ value is
Who wants Lavine tho
I don’t see a single playoff/play in team that he would improve
When you factor in cost/ability to acquire I could see saying that, but pure talent wise a lot of teams are playing a lesser version of him already where he’s a clear upgrade. Bucks/Beasley, Kings/Monk, Mavs/THJ, Cavs/Strus & LeVert, Rockets/Green, Raptors/Trent, Pelicans/Hawkins, Jazz/Clarkson, Pacers/Mathurin, and even Lakers/Reaves.
