[K.C. Johnson] There’s a growing feeling among rival executives that the Bulls may have to attach another asset to move LaVine, something sources said the Bulls have been hesitant to do to this point. An alternative could be to merely move LaVine as a salary dump for expiring contracts

  1. One of the most egregious failures in asset management I’ve ever seen

  2. Doesntcheckinbox

    Hold onto him, Trade Demar, start the tank, let Lavine ball out as the guy to increase value, make roster as bad as you can w/o sacrificing anything long-term, for example, sign a ball-hog PG or a bunch of defensive specialists to tank our shooting but who could become trade assets later. If we can, try to reconstruct roster to force PAW to take a more active role. Look for value in Nov/Dec next year with his surely inflated stats & see the market.

    Someone will inevitably lose a guy to injury & get desperate or want to appease a star before they walk & then we feign interest in Lavine as a really positive guy to have around the young guys, plus he’s not that old & who is flourishing without Demar. Milk them for assets & trade. Probably still not gonna get a ton but we’re gonna max what we get.

    Start full rebuild in a better draft year while getting some nice young pieces to watch for 24-25 season now.

    CHI get: Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Ivey, and Joe Harris

    DET get: Zach LaVine and Jevon Carter

    Most teams cant afford Zach what else are they wanting to attach 😅

  5. How many years does AKME have to totally shit the bed until they face any consequences? To say they’re worse than GarPax at this point is an understatement.

    Might as well trade him next season if it’s that bad, but they should really get rid of anybody not named Coby, Pat, Ayo and Julian still.

    Then we keep him with the mindset of moving him in the offseason when it’s easier to make trades and he has one year less and cap increase. but we should be looking to move Derozan and Caruso if a team overpays us.

    If we keep this core past the deadline, I’ll be ready to chip in for a Billboard again. A

    That’s a funny way to say no one wants him

  9. roseyrosey

    Bulls should not be attaching assets to move LaVine or accepting offers they feel are below his trade value.

    I’m not willing to make change for the sake of change.

    Honestly curious what value this front office has provided that couldn’t have been provided by the GM being picked via sweepstakes on Reddit. Pathetic

  11. yepYep235

    Keep him until the end of the season then and try again in the summer.

  12. Bullsstopsucking

    Can it finally be said that maxing Lavine was a bad move?? If the intention was to trade him for a haul, it failed terribly

  13. Translation: Rival execs wanted LaVine as a salary dump ✌️

  14. VitalDread

    Hey OKC

    Can we please have one of your 37 picks 👉🥺👈

  15. Softish_Dump

    Everyone should be available except Coby and Pat. This is frustrating, clearly this core of “stars” don’t work all that well with each other.

  16. moneyman2222

    Would rather keep him at this point than do a salary dump. I think that’s why AKME will just stand Pat. Not like we need the salary savings for the remainder of the season. Don’t go and help a contender. Just keep him around and trade him in the offseason

  17. Toffee_Fan

    These mother fuckers, man.

    How much does an exec in the NBA get paid? To do what, exactly? To make fans sad after months or years of giving them blue balls?

    If you or I were as bad at our jobs as one of these shlubs is allowed to be, we’d be out on the street faster than you could say “late stage capitalism.” I bet AKME have offices. Big ones. With WINDOWS. Idiots have no idea what they’re doing and laugh all the way to the bank for it.

    Can’t wait for Jerry to fire them in 18 months and start the process all over again. Don’t worry guys, this next time will be different! It’s all fine!!!
