It might not sound appealing to us just based off the caliber of player Zach Lavine is, but I wonder if AK decides to ship Lavine off for minimal assets and see if “addition by subtraction” has this team play up to standards. Ayo and Coby seemed to play much more aggressive last night without Lavine on the court.

I’m gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist but this makes me feel like he’s 100% going to LAL as soon as it’s possible

No one wants him because he is a career loser with a max contract who has injury issues

This is just Woj being a puppet for teams (Lakers) that are trying to trade for him to lower his value.

Fair but I think it’ll pick up once competing teams start depleting around the All-Star break. Same with Vuc, if Memphis starts to trend toward play in status when Ja comes back, I can see them making a move for him.

A lot of smoke around this makes it hard to tell how much truth is being told but man… I didn’t want us to give him that contact. The rebuttals were about letting him walk for nothing which was not the play, it was shipping him right away via sign and trade. Hopefully we can move off him now.

I find it VERY hard to believe that there is not a market for him. Yeah the interest may be much lower than we hoped but I’m certain there’s at the absolute very least one team that’s looking to acquire him.

Welp!!!!! That’s not happening

This is leaving out some context for the word “now”. Come 12/15 there will likely be a clearer picture for what the trade market for Zach is, and my bet is that it’ll be a lot better than doubters are making it out to be. Zach’s not a superstar, but alongside one of the NBA’s elite, he could look like the ideal second scoring option.

I’d like to see this team with no Demar but with Lavine tbh. But it def won’t happen

Great job not trading him last year AKME. Not tearing this thing down last season has been the worst decision I’ve ever seen made in the nba
hobobindleguy
Honestly, I have this feeling that this rumor and the fact he’s sitting mean they have a trade lined up whenever the calendar allows it.

They should have found someone to replace Lonzo Ball right after he was injured to give the offense a similar scheme and feel.

It’s too early in the season, something like half the players in the league can’t be traded right now.
Plus Zach been playing like shit.

Not many teams are going to want to pay Lavine max money for what he brings to the table. We never should have either. He’s proven not to be a number one option and has this team with 6 wins on the season.
Pouting not playing hard and always complaining this team doesn’t do enough for him is not making him attractive. This isn’t hard to understand. He’s lowered his own trade value. No sports writer is going to do more damage than Lavine has already done to himself.
I’m so pissed at AKME. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if we are stuck with Zach and Demar. These guys egos are out of control. Hopefully, this at least will be a reality check for them and they might actually make an effort to win on this team who way overpaid their sorry asses.

A pick swap, a few 2nds, & filler.
Zach’s contract is a real ball buster
this team is genuinely fucked
