Not for the Spurs, but these two are both rumored on the block and I thought this was interesting. Both have elite aspects to their offensive game but both are two of the worst defenders in the entire league
I'm old fashioned and I'd prefer having 6'7+ wings.
High volume, efficent 3pt shooter for the starting lineup.
Markkanen, MPJ, Cam Jonhson...you get the point.
Replace CP3 and Tre with one of those point guards I mentioned next season and we're good to go.
Or we can replace Tre right away.
I'm sure Bulls would take their pick back and Tre for Coby, I'm just not sure how much would he want to extend, if that contract was longer, it would be a no brainer win-win trade, but it ends in 2026.

If the Bulls were giving away Lavine I’d be intrigued giving some form of our scraps like Keldon, Zollins, Tre, Branham Wesley and SRPs.
His contract is up until summer 2027.
$43/46/49M.
I see no way to have both Lavine and Devin in the lineup.
Neither can play point and both are too small to play forward.
Not too mention the asking price on Lavine is still reported to be "too high"
Hopefully Castle shuts him down tonight. He's been on a tear offensively this season
Oh I’m well aware of his super max. Gradually less punitive with a rising cap but punitive none the less. I agree on the redundancy between DV and Lavine but if we swallowed Lavine for basically nothing I’d have DV on the block with draft capital ready for the next disgruntled star.
When healthy (I know big if) I really like his game and think he would complement Wemby nicely. Add a 2 way AS caliber wing and that’s a pretty dynamic trio.
His game is nice, but he's injury prone and will be 30 before the season ends.
If Devin stays healthy, I wouldn't trade him unless it's a legit star package. If he gets injured again, we need to get rid of him before he becomes a negative asset.
I’m comfortable with our current trajectory but I’m also okay with taking some risk on former AS caliber vets with some stink on them these next few years. Mainly because Vic is still finding himself and as of right now he isn’t ready to lead on a nightly basis.
I’ll always be keen on selling high on DV. He is on a great deal and had an efficient year last year offensively but also think his value has been inflated being a primary option on a losing squad devoid of talent.
Don't think I'd want to give Vassell's minutes nor Castle's to Lavine even if Lavine was on a good contract.
Lavine is more dynamic and probably a better offensive player... but he's a significantly worse defender (and Devin's not even that great, tbh) and his contract is definitely way worse. It's funny to even bring up injuries with either of these guys because it's probably a wash, neither of these dudes can stay off the injury report.
In a vacuum I'd rather have Devin than Lavine for the defense and contract... but if it's Devin or Lavine + [whatever I can get for Devin] I might have to think about it.
Why not Devin + [whatever you can get for Lavine] ? At least Lavine's contract would be more useful for matching purposes if the Spurs traded for a star.Lavine is more dynamic and probably a better offensive player... but he's a significantly worse defender (and Devin's not even that great, tbh) and his contract is definitely way worse.

Well, we're talking about a scenario where we basically get Lavine for free... so [whatever you can get for Lavine] = 0
Wth regards to the price that clears the market for Lavine I suspect Chicago will have to take back poor contracts if they want decent draft capital in the return. Otherwise they will have to settle for expiring contracts and/or smaller more moveable trade pieces.
I do believe he gets moved before the deadline either way to help the tank.
Lakers might be one of the few teams who would actually pay near their asking price.
Need a There's Buzz thread.
I think people haven’t realized how toxic a contract like Lavines is in the era of the second apron. It’s awful on the face of it, but when you add the fact that he plays zero defense anymore, it’s even worse. You can’t have a one way player as a #2 on a contender,but he’s being paid like a #2.
blair, bonner, neal, and some second round picks for lavine
Wemby to Lakers for AD
I'd punch that guy on sight, tbh.
I know people use rage bait to generate context, but he's one of those people who legit deserves to be banned from the internet.
While we're at trades with the Lakers, I'd trade Collins for Luol Deng's contract if it's still on the books.
Think I'll pass. Wemby is not ready to be competing for les yet and trading for Davis to pair next to him would be a win now move. That's the kind of move you'd want to make in two years.
No, that’s the click bate image. The actual trade proposed is:
SAS: AD + trash
LAL: Vassell, Keldon, Malaki, Collins, and 4 good FRPs
I actually think about it, tbh
AD is actually untradeable.
He'll be 32 before the playoffs start, he's probably the best second option in the league when healthy, but the problem is that he's guaranteed to get injured at some point.
Teams that would become top contenders by adding him don't have the assets and teams that have the assets wouldn't be good enough even after the trade.
If he was a bit younger, sure, but he's got maybe two years left on top level and then what?
Yeah that’s probably the best case offer for LAL. For the reasons you mention, it’s hard to see the spurs giving 4FRP that are good AND Vassell. After seeing what Bridges went for, Vassell should at least command the same alone. But, if the price is two good picks and 2 protected one?
sorry, but Vassell isn’t worth nearly the return Bridges brought. Bridges doesn’t miss games. Vassell, on the other hand….
Fair, but Mikal Bridges has been pretty bad for the Knicks so far. Things can change of course, but based on their dissatisfaction with the trade, many Knicks fans would probably take a healthy Vassell over him right now.
