Lakers, Bulls & Jazz 3 Team Trade? Zach Lavine & Walker Kessler

Lakers, Bulls & Jazz 3 Team Trade? Zach Lavine & Walker Kessler

what’s going on everyone so one of the players I am actually very for the Lakers going and trading for is Zack LaVine I think Zack LaVine can not only raise the ceiling for the Lakers enough to potentially put them in contention if everyone’s healthy and all things work I also think with the new uh TV deal coming in Zack lavine’s contract will get better over time I mean it’s not a great contract don’t get me wrong but it’s not going to be as impactful you know as you move towards the end his contract also lines up perfectly with LeBron and AD in that timeline so basically everyone’s money kind of falls off at once or like a year you know separated so from LeBron to 80 and LaVine so I think like you you basically get hit the reset button after that not only that but you bring in assets that now you can use to then pivot and go get another piece potentially right here’s the thing two biggest concerns that people have about Zack LaVine is his health which I do think is a bit overblown right several Reas you look at not this last year but two previous years 67 games 77 games right that’s good that I mean 65 games is the kind of cut off for a reason because that’s kind of the average that everyone’s playing so you give me 65 games were good I know people look at this last year man he only played like 23 25 games I get that but he also was expected to play out the rest of the season until the Detroit rumors happen and then when the Detroit rumors happened everyone was like yeah I he’s not going to Detroit and he was like I’m just going to get surgery right everyone was like even Chicago was like wait what like so that I just think he didn’t want to go to Detroit the other thing again is his contract and look again his contract isn’t great and if it doesn’t work you’re kind of stuck with him but what are your other options that are that Prov the ceiling rays in which he gives you right the Lakers aren’t a real Contender right now regardless so you can stand Pat and have a puncher’s chance or you could go get a guy in Zack LaVine and give you a even greater chance and still maintain flexibility to do other things right so to me it’s the the the gamble is worth the risk like the payout is worth the gamble right I’ve seen people like oh what about like a Malcolm Brogden or something like they mention another guy who you know has injury concerns cuz it’s also about what’s available there but to me somebody like that compared to Zack line yes the contracts are very different but the upside for the Lakers isn’t as great so it’s like yeah Malcolm Brockton would be nice but he can’t stay healthy either and he and the ceiling for the Lakers with him is a lot shorter than with Zack LaVine Zack LaVine is one of the best on ball catch and shoot guys right he is one of the best best just natural gifted scorers in the league he didn’t get 40 million just for fun right on top of that he’s a guy that wouldn’t have as much of a workload on the Lakers as he would with the team uh like the Chicago Bulls and to me again it’s about being able to do other things the last kind of issue is the dep people have concerns about the dep but you can go get Zack LaVine use that trade to then pivot into another trade and that’s where I want to kind of focus on to me you could use the Zack LaVine trade to then pivot to a walker Kessler trade from day one demard Rosen Zack uh Klay Thompson Jeremy Grant all of them it was always that guy and right like Jeremy Grant yes raises the ceiling but we’re not a contender right you need two maybe three pieces to really put you into contention stat with these other teams I don’t think the Lakers need like a full roster rehaul but I do think a quality upgrade or two can really do a lot you add in new coaching you add in you know Health hopefully let’s go let’s go try to win an NBA championship to me right now the Chicago Bulls are willing to attach Assets in order to pull off a trade for Zack cavine that’s how bad they want to get rid of them ideally they want to unload the two seconds that that they got uh in the demard Rosen trade but original reports were that they were willing to give up a first and they have three tradable first that they could give up now I would imagine it’s not going to be unprotected or anything like that probably going to have some protections if the Lakers are the only game in town you have some leverage in that regard but you’re G you’re gaining more assets that now you can use to better your chances for a walker Kessler trade so say Zack LaVine right you can either work this as a three- team deal or you could work this as individual trades however it might be best to kind of do it in a three- team deal just to kind of make sure all the little ducks in a row as well as like Utah can take on a little salary if like you need to kind of like get another piece in there or whatever so it probably is best in a three- team deal essentially what you’re doing is you’re taking something along the lines of D’Angelo Russell ruy hamura and Gabe Vincent those three guys you’re bringing in that clears your the salary that you need for Zack LaVine right d’angel Russell 18.7 ruy is 17 million that right there is 35 almost 36 million you add in Gabe Vincent that’s basically 46 million um almost 47 million in salary so you’re clearing a little off of what Zack Line’s making almost 4 million if you can you’re trying to throw in like a cam reddish or something to into that deal right cuz then that could clear um an extra you know two three million which could free up your mid-level ex or taxpayer mid-level exception so now you can bring it in say a Gary Trent right but you also got to keep in mind you have Lakers are only 45,000 from the second apron so not only do you have to clear 52 M or five 5.2 million for that taxpayer mid level you also need to save room in order to make a deal that can get you you know these signings to round out the roster right so to me that’s where I would try to use Utah or Chicago as a salary dump and that’s why I think as a three- team deal that would make it much easier because you could work something out to where again DLo ruy Gabe Vincent are shipped to a team like Chicago or you know if maybe Utah is like hey you know what we actually like ruie right we we’ll take ruy hot chimura right or you know maybe they’re like hey you know what like Gabe Vincent I think he’d be good with this roster or DLo you know what we we we would prefer to have DLo because he’s an expiring contract right maybe you do something like that so maybe D’s going for Walker kler right and then you’re bringing in a kler and then you’re basically piecing together you know Jaylen Hood Chino you know uh Christian Wood and um cam reddish right and you’re kind of packaging them to get because you got to remember Utah to be taking on Sal too so to kind of make the deal work to where okay now you can Land Zack LaVine now you can land Walker Kessler you’re giving up probably a first for Walker Kesler but if you can get a first from Chicago right maybe you can now do that or maybe they know maybe they’re they say they most will give you is the two seconds or maybe they’ll give you a young guy right can you get an IO right maybe a team like the uh the um Utah jaet maybe they’d be like hey we love to have a guy like that so maybe you’re shipping him out too right maybe maybe instead of a pick it’s like hey here’s a young guy here’s two young guys maybe you’re throwing in like a Max well Lewis or something to where you’re giving some young Talent along with the first right and now you can satisfy Utah Chicago is not the team you really would have to satisfy in this potential scenario it’s the Chicago Bull or the the Utah Jazz right Chicago they just want and are willing to give up assets to get off of LaVine so they just want to rid themselves of LaVine and his long-term contract so they are looking for a scenario where they can do that they know they’re going to have to take on probably three four four or five players in order to do that right so they’re going like there’s nobody outside of like maybe the Nets because they have like Ben Simmons expiring contract but that doesn’t make really sense for the Nets given the direction they’re going so Chicago is fully aware and if they’re not then something’s wrong that they’re going to have to take on several players in order to rid themselves of Zack LaVine and they’ve accepted that fact because they’re shopping and trying to get off of Zack LaVine and willing to give up back assets it’s the Utah Jazz that you have to satisfy in order to get Walker Kessler right so now I know Nicks offered two first for Kessler and they rejected big difference between the New York Knicks picks who they are young they’re talented Jaylen Brunson just took a discount to help them even further and they’re going to be very good for a long time their picks aren’t as valuable as a team like the Lakers who when LeBron James and Anthony Davis depart the Lakers could be a lottery team right we don’t know what they look like post then the hope is that that’s not the case but you never know and Danny AES has said publicly that he believes that the Lakers picks are the best on the market so you have hey Danny AES loves and values the Lakers picks so much so that he took a protected first from the Lakers in order to help them move off of Russell Westbrook gave up Jared vanderbel gave up Malik Beasley which that isn’t that much but also helped them facilitate to get d’angel Russell right so again Danny AES has shown he does really value those picks so can you give up a you know an unprotected first for Walker kastler get some assets from Chicago add that maybe you’re throwing in like I said a young player or two like or maybe it’s a pick swap or something can you clear enough salary because you got to keep in mind Walker kler and Zack combined is only like $46 million which essentially is just D ruy and uh Gabe Vincent like those three alone basically get you cleared of Zack leavine and Walker kler because Walker Kessler’s contract is so small it’s can you unload other guys to clear off enough salary cap in order to use your taxpayer mid level to bring in a Gary Trent Jr so you need to clear 5.2 million and then you need to clear off enough money to bring in you know basically two to probably probably two other signings here’s the thing though too right you don’t have to clear that much off so you have to clear the 5.2 million to to be able to get Gary Trent Jr after that you only need to clear you need to clear about 8 to 10 million in that range right because even vet minimums are based on years played right so you could bring in like let’s say it’s like a man we only have 12 guys on our roster but we only have like two and a half million to spin that’s that’s you know we can’t bring in uh uh you know a I don’t know when a Lonnie Walker right we can’t bring in Aon Walker what do we do oh no well the simple answer is you just bring in two of your two-way guys you know Blake Henson come on down cuz his vet his vet minimum contract is or his minimum contract is only like 900,000 say you just convert him to an actual roster spot now he’s 900,000 you do the same thing with like a Colin castlton or like a trayor or whatever if you needed to and you basically guarantee them a contract for 900 and there you go you’re a million under the cap you you got Zack LaVine you got Walker Kessler you got Gary Trent Jr you got um Spencer D Woody to me I believe you’re a contender at that point because look you solved your Center position right you still maintain Jared vanut you still keep Austin Reeves you got Dalton connect you got a better Coach you get Gary Trent Jr you get Spence Den witty I mean your your basically 10 or whatever would be LeBron James Anthony Davis Zack LaVine Austin Reeves Jared vanderbelt right then you have Spencer Den witty d connect um you’d still have you know Walker Kessler Max Christie right and and I feel like I’m missing somebody correct me down in the comments but you get my point right you got basically you got your nine to 10 guys yeah you fill out the rest of your roster spot with like you know like I said Blake Hinson and a and a you know Colin Castleton let’s go let’s go try to win a championship so I think that might even be the best option because you get a real ceiling razor and Zack LaVine you get a legit Center for now in the future yeah you’re getting assets that now help facilitate that Walker kler trade you can clear off some salary to bring in other guys and you’re good right like you got your nine of 10 guys all High Caliber guys to go win a championship obviously health is a big factor but if you can say healthy I think you win but anyway as always this is a discussion I pass question on you let me know your thoughts and opinions down in the comments below what do you think how do you feel what are your thoughts do you like the idea of Zack LaVine do you think yeah Zack LaVine bring him in do you like the idea of Walker kastler yes bring in walk kle if you can bring in Zack L and walk kle let’s go to me again it’s about using Utah or using Chicago to help facilitate facilitate to pull off the Walker kler trade by giving you more Assets in order to incentivize them while also using either team potentially both to clear a little extra salary in order to actually be able to contend right like that’s the idea and bring in a Gary Trent bring in a Spencer dwy bring in whatever you need right you got to clear about like I said 10 million in salary Utah could take that all on by themselves right like like I said you could they just take on DLo right like and then Chicago they’re a team that could take on a little bit of salary so you can finagle it however you need to in order to pull that off but again however you feel whatever your thoughts are let me know down in the comments below that being said if you haven’t liked this video hit that like button helps not so we enjoy these
