    Lavine is barely putting up all star caliber stats while being the “star” of a bad team. He’s due $40M+ for the next few years, & has a trade kicker. He’s a subpar defender, isn’t a strong play maker, & is average at best from 3. Why exactly would we trade all our our depth, including a great young contract, for this dude? This reeks of either LAL desperation, or just CHI using us as leverage. I hope it’s the latter.

      because it’s a big name, that’s all that matters apparently. why go for solid role players that fit your needs when you can have another injury prone star? i just hope y’all get him so the Raps clown-show FO doesn’t get the chance.

      Career 38% 3pt shooter on big volume is not " average at best from 3"

      Lavine is a really good player and an excellent scorer. Gutting your depth for him doesn’t make your team better. Both can be true

        Thought it was obvious, but guess I should have specified “This Year”, my b. He’s currently shooting 34% from 3. Quick google search shows this years league 3pt average is 36%. Hence “average at best”.

          It’s safe to assume that percentage will come up and that this is just a small sample size.

      I’m not defending this behavior but he’s not trying. Watch him play and you see he’s going 60% max. Playing like he just doesn’t wanna get injured
