If this is one that I think that the Bulls should actually do give my take on it and I’d like for you guys to get interactive down in the comments below and see how you feel about if this is the right move I’m sure you all will as

I like hearing all of your takes and different opinions and views on what the Bulls should do for the remainder of the Season cuz it doesn’t seem like there’s a consensus which is interesting in my opinion that we can go back and forth and really see everybody’s opinion on

What the Bulls should be doing this article was by Steven Blick and it says a three- team trade proposal that would finally get Zack LaVine to the Los Angeles Lakers the Lakers finally get Zack LaVine in this wild trade idea now now this was an article put up by Sports

Illustrated which played off an article I recently found by Bleacher Report and didn’t really get too much traing but now it is so we’re going to be talking about it the first thing we saw in this article was the mutual interest between Chicago Bulls wingman Zack LaVine and

The Los Angeles Lakers has long been rumored but a deal has yet to come to fruition however with both teams struggling this season the Lakers looking for additional Firepower alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis now be the perfect time for a trade in this three- team trade concocted by

Bleacher Reports Andy Bailey the Bulls would give up Zack LaVine and Andre Drummond and in return would receive DLo Davis Berton Jaylen hood chafino and three draft picks from both the Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder so a pretty wild trade going three different ways uh we’re going to be breaking down

Exactly how I feel about this one now in a minute but just to mention the piece that’s being moved so we’re losing Drummond and we’re losing of course Zack LaVine getting back Doo Jaylen Hood chafino as a prospect and dois Berton to kind of make up some salary in return

Not really looking at getting much out of him we also get some draft capital in return so this could be a very good trade for the Bulls the Lakers would obviously have to give up something because they’re getting a star player and Zack LaVine albeit if he can stay

Healthy let’s hope he could in a trade and then when it comes to the Thunder side of things they get a big man which they could really use Off the Bench as uh big Jaylen Williams j a y l i n uh is definitely not exactly the backup big

They’re looking for behind Chad holr so it’s a little bit of a different look if they go in a playoff series against embiid chat’s very frail and small although he does get uh Blocks he’s not going to be able to guard embi in 48 minutes and having Drummond Off the

Bench to do something like that could definitely be help helpful for them so it’s solid all around in that opinion next thing we saw in this article was time to start a new the writing has been splattered on the wall for a while but the Bulls front office has blatantly

Ignored it perhaps this remarkable stat would jar them awake the Bulls big three of Zack LaVine demard Rose and nicoa vuvi have played together for more than 3,000 minutes in that span Chicago is minus 2.8 points per 100 possessions that’s simply not good enough for a team with playoff aspirations and there’s

Nothing to really argue about there I mean if if you’re basically three points worse for 100 possessions with your quote unquote big three it’s not a big three it’s actually three players that you wouldn’t want on the court all the time because you’re not getting a positive net rating with them out there

Uh so that’s not something that the Bulls should be happy about this is just a sample with those three guys so it’s completely fair when it’s just focused on those guys and it means that maybe there needs to be some different lineups with them maybe one needs to go or maybe

It needs to be completely split up and we start from new and that’s where they’re basically getting this point in the article well now look at a quote that we saw based on this from uh Andy Bailey and it said say when you consider the fact that those three are 28 34 and

33 respectively it’s hard to deny that it’s time for a fresh start this deal at least turns them in that direction separate trades to bring in additional assets or young players for D rozan and vuvi would help too Bailey wrote now I usually don’t agree with Andy Bailey but

In that sense I have to Zack LaVine doesn’t look like he’s contributing to winning on a very consistent basis with the Chicago Bulls and then when you look at Vu and D rozan being 34 and 33 it’s not exactly ideal for what you’re looking for in a team going forward if

You can get younger assets for those guys and try to sell High uh then absolutely go for it if teams are not willing to take on Vu as much then keep him while you can right now but maybe a contender would be looking at getting D rozan for some prospects that they don’t

Think they’ll be able to develop right now that the Bulls could in a nearer future then with that team uh it’s always good to try to develop prospects on teams that have time to play them as opposed the contenders where you could basically be ruining a player’s early

Part of his career by not giving him the developmental system that he needs to strive the next thing that we saw on this was what the Bulls will get with the young core the Bulls have Russell and Burtons could be nothing more than salary fillers in this deal who may be

Flipped in another transaction with a different team the real payoff in this imaginary trade lies in the draft picks the Bulls would get obviously this deal is mostly about the draft compens compensation for Chicago while the Bulls might want a little more for LaVine after seeing the Toronto Raptors get

Three first for Pascal cakam this is a pretty decent haul for a two with a significant injury history and little to no impact on winning for the past couple of years Bailey wrote now it’s a hard pill to swallow for us Bulls fans hearing little to you know nothing when

It comes to winning uh coming from Zack LaVine but it’s true there is no sample size saying that he helps us win basketball games it’s just simply isn’t there he has turned things around the end of games to kind of go off against the Hornets and Hawks that time uh in

Order for us to win a game but it isn’t on a consistent enough basis and there’s a much larger sample size than those small few games that shows that him being on the court has caused us to lose a few uh that’s not exactly what you

Want out of a star player and Pascal is going to get more even though he has an expiring contract where teams think they can resign him in the off season and he just made an all NBA team last season that’s not what Zack LaVine did teams are definitely going to be looking at

What players are doing currently most recently and in in the near future if they’re looking at a star type of already developed player as opposed to someone who’s done something two or three years ago in Zack lavine’s case uh seak definitely had a higher ceiling for

That right now and that’s why the Pacers paid a little bit more for him but the next thing that I saw really spoke to me when you looked at DLo actually uh the didn’t want to take him on so they were looking for a third team so d off being

Taking on once again would the Bulls want to take on D right now it doesn’t seem like anybody really wants to for whatever reason it may be but the next thing that I saw was actually talking about the Terry roier trade kind of touching on that a little bit and

Relating to the Zack LaVine it was here by Ross pins and you can see there’s just no way you expect me to believe that Zack LaVine has no trade market when you’ve got to he roier going for a first round pick and that was Shams tweeting out just in Miami is nearing a

Trade to acquire Charlotte’s Terry roier for package sending Kyle Lowry and draft compensation that cludes the first round pick and that trade actually did go through now a little bit of a different situation for sure TI roier is always healthy that’s one thing to take into

Account he’s still a 20 point per game score another thing to take in account he’s a very bad Defender and he also is pretty undersized playing at the two but if they’re looking for him to play point guard maybe a very solid option over there in Miami do I think he’s a better

Player than Zack LaVine absolutely not I do like Terry roier would have liked them on the Chicago Bulls for sure but I think LaVine should still go for more draft Capital than that so where we’re kind of in this Middle Ground if we saw Terry roier go for a first we saw Pascal

Go for three un expiring I think that Zack LaVine would be worth almost two first maybe some seconds involved and that’s basically the value draft compensation wise I would put him at with a player for salary filler and a solid rotation player right away that’s

The value to be put on so I do agree with the trade that was at hand it isn’t as crazy as it seemed to be initially I don’t like giving up Drummond as much seems like we have to give up a little bit more there because there were

Seconds involved in that I think I remember but at the end of the day I think that trade would definitely help the Bulls if we’re looking to go in a little bit of a different direction and wouldn’t be the worst move possible let me know what you guys think about that
