This COULD Be MASSIVE…

Since coming back from injury Zack LaVine hasn’t been talked about near as much in the trade rumor mill but now talks are ramping up once again and this time it puts him with the Los Angeles Lakers which we thought were out of the Zack LaVine sweep Stakes I’m your host

Ado let’s get into the topic at hand there today and that is LaVine to the Lakers again so it kind of seemed since he’s been back from injury over the past two games against Charlotte that talks have kind of slowed down with VB moved and it seemed like it was almost going

To be impossible to move him by deadline but now try talks are ramping up once again with a few teams being mentioned but none mentioned more than the Los Angeles Lakers who we were talking heavily being linked to Zack LaVine earlier on in the season when we look

Into this the article I’m citing is from Sports Illustrated and the title said report predicts Zack LaVine will get traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and this was put out by Nick Ru now this report only came out out about 7 hours ago so I want to hop on this as soon as

Physically possible which I could and that’s why we’re going to break it down right now this said that the rumor mill involving the Chicago Bulls Zack LaVine has been churning non-stop for a while now and with the NBA trade deadline fast approaching it won’t be long before

Rumors turn into reality the Los Angeles Lakers are one team many insiders speculate in the mix to snag the two-time allar guard including Andy Bailey of bleach Fe report who believes the deal will get done between these two franchises now Andy Bailey I will agree he has had some pretty outrageous takes

And uh articles out there over the past few months since the start of the Season really when it comes to anything in regarding the NBA not just the Chicago Bulls or Zack LaVine themselves but this report did seem a little bit more realistic and he’s not the only guy that

We’ve heard in the past or even right now over the past day or so talking about Z LaVine being linked to the Los Angeles Lakers yet this is the guy that’s kind of been at the front of everything I know yesterday we talked about a completely different topic and

That article was was ridiculous and I stated that in the video but this one right here seems a little bit more plausible the next thing we saw was do the Lakers have enough the Lakers may not have enough assets to bring the Bulls front office to the negotiating

Table their most appealing asset is Austin Reeves who the Lakers front office has hesitated to part with weighs with however biley believes the Bulls and Lakers may become desperate enough to make a move happen let me start by saying the Lakers simply may not have the goods to get LaVine Bailey wrad now

It is true Austin Reeves has been a player that the Bulls have seemed to have interest in and Zack LaVine the Lakers have interest in both parties are having a bit of an off season but more so the Lakers they made the Western Conference finals last year albeit swept

By the Denver Nuggets but they still are a team that we thought were going to be a con Ender to start the year and their record just simply doesn’t say that they could use Zack LaVine as another scoring punch as LeBron is getting older although he’s still a very great NBA

Player and AD you can’t be sure about his health and he is playing so many minutes this year although he has been very good they don’t have that third guy to score the ball consistently right now and although Austin Reeves is a solid NBA Pro he simply isn’t the scorer that

Zack LaVine is nor the shooter and that’s just plain the way it is he doesn’t have the volume scoring that LaVine has although his defense is much better you’re getting a better player if you’re the Lakers in their situation needing more offense out of LaVine than

Out of Reeves now in the Bulls return Reeves could be a player that doesn’t demand as many shots that could fit our offensive and defensive schemes more so even better so could be a win-win trade and both teams being right there hovering just below 500 a few games

Could pull the trigger to shake things up in order to try to save their season especially if you’re in the hot seat like the Los Angeles Lakers next thing we saw on this was the second quote from Andy Bailey saying but both of these teams could be pretty desperate ahead of

The trade deadline LeBron James is already taking his passive aggressive swipes at the roster that has him under 500 on the season and the Bulls have to know they’ve gone as far as they possibly can with the LaVine deer de Roos and Nia vuich core now not really

Sure why that was so close together with the nicoa vuich spelling but it is true Le or Lebron sorry has been very passive aggressive towards teammates we’ve heard what he said to reporters being very disgruntled upset with him and just saying that we kind of suck he’s

Agreeing that the Lakers are not the team they thought they should be and this happened before this team really reminds me of the 2017 to 18 Cavs when LeBron kind of put his say in the team made crazy offse season moves too many in my opinion to shake things up

Couldn’t get any players back made some trades that didn’t really make any sense and then blew everything up at deadline I can see that happening again here with the Lakers although I’m not really sure what they’ll get back it could be a similar situation like I remember the

Cavs went out and got like Darren Williams and like oh Darren Williams he was a solid NBA Pro and he was completely washed at that point in time I could see things like that happening for the Lakers this time around although I don’t know how many of those players

Are around in the league like that right now but you never know what value we could get uh if you’re the Lakers I mean they could be tra tring players that are essentially the same just in different situations making a push obviously LeBron is not the player he was in 2018

Although once again still a very very good player in this league but I could see them being so desperate to keep LeBron happy and make him stay as long as possible that they make a move with Reeves for LaVine obviously there will be pieces on other side there to kind of

Make up salaries make up uh value in the trade things like that but that is something that I could definitely see happening the next thing we on this was the Bulls getting draft picks back and young Talent if the Bulls can’t prve Reeves away from the Lakers perhaps a

Package consisting of talented wingmen Max Christie and several draft picks would be enough to enti Chicago to let LaVine go to the City of Angels while it’s not the package that the Bulls were seemingly hoping for Christy has the potential to develop into a solid player and the draft picks could help them

Rebuild quickly I’m sure if you’ve seen over social media I was was really chewed out on Twitter uh I mean that had a lot of views over there a lot of people talking about me not really understanding the full take when I said chrisy wasn’t that

Good of a Defender we probably all know that here at Bulls digest when I talked about that I’m not as high at Max C some other guys I really don’t think that his potential ceiling is as high as it really looks to be he’s playing on the

Lakers right now and they don’t really have a whole lot of tools and I feel like he’s really given shine just because of the system that he’s in right now now being given more opportunities Derham isn’t the best NBA coach in the league and believe me when I say he’s

Probably a bottom five I don’t really agree what he’s doing over there it seems kind of uh funky the lineups and the offensive sets that he’s running over there and I don’t think the players are agreeing with it but Christie is an okay Defender I never went out and said

That he was a bad Defender would he fit the Bulls maybe not do I want him on the Bulls not really but he would be a solid value if we are getting back maybe to flip again that’s another guy that is okay and I believe that he is a solid

Role player in this league but he is nowhere near what some of the fans said he was as an elite Defender that’s not who he is I mean Don V Mitchell had a few off games and we saw that over the next few and he’s had a few of those

This season this hasn’t been his best year so far it wasn’t just a collection of Max Christie it was Max Christie and off and Reeves in that game and I’ll still back that up I mean it’s true you watch the game you don’t just look at

Raw numbers you look at the eye test it’s more than that one possession end that game on that one and there’s more than that to Max Christie he’s had a lot of mistakes made as well I mean he reaches in he gets a lot of unnecessary foul calls and that’s just what happens

When you’re young when you’re trying to learn in this league I’m not trying to discredit Max Christie at all but let’s be real he isn’t an elite Defender just yet it’s going to take him some time if he develops and that is unknown right now and never never to discredit a

Player but just simply what the ey test is showing right now and I watch him believe me when I say that I watch all the Bulls games and a lot of other NBA games as well I get my hands on pretty much as much as I can and if I miss

Games I watch highlights I watch the the games over the next day on YouTube I record them on my TV I mean whatever you can get your hands on is pretty much what I like to look into I look at Stats daily I definitely do my homework on

This stuff so if you disagree with the take that I have it’s based on my own opinion and research not just because I’m talking you know because I feel like it so to speak I do hope you enjoyed this episode today though and uh yeah lots to talk about here in the next

Coming days will LaVine be dealt for Austin Reeves or will it be Max Christi and picks I could definitely see both of those situations happening it could include everything and more on the Bulls side and that is very plausible from uh me here at Bulls digest I hope you
