That potentially includes the Warriors. LaVine is owed around $138 million over the next three years. This package is almost a dollar-for-dollar match, so the 2024-25 payroll isn\u2019t a concern,\u201d\u00a0Favale wrote\u00a0in a September 19 story on trade ideas \u201cto boost five NBA playoff hopefuls\u2019 offenses.\u201d \u201cBut his price point is something they\u2019ll have to reconcile going forward as they prepare to pay\u00a0Jonathan Kuminga\u00a0and, potentially,\u00a0Moses Moody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy professional advice: You have\u00a0Stephen Curry. Make the trade now, boost your immediate standing in the Western Conference and figure out the financial logistics later. Whether LaVine\u2019s value has fallen far enough for Chicago to accept seconds and longer-term cap relief is debatable. Or maybe not. LaVine would probably be on another team if there were a market for his services\u00a0<i>and<\/i>\u00a0contract.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Bulls \u2018Were Trying to Get Something Going\u2019 With Warriors<\/h2>\n<p>According to Chris Haynes, the Bulls tried \u201cto get something going with the Golden State Warriors\u201d involving a package for LaVine earlier in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Haynes said in late June that it could\u2019ve been\u00a0Chris Paul, who isn\u2019t on the Warriors anymore, and Wiggins for LaVine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told that the Chicago Bulls were trying to get something going with the Golden State Warriors trying to get a Zach Lavine package together,\u201d\u00a0Haynes said. \u201cYou know what I was told? It could have been Zach Lavine for Chris Paul and\u00a0Andrew Wiggins.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Warriors Named \u2018Worst\u2019 Landing Spot for LaVine<\/h2>\n<p>LaVine was once regarded as one of the better shooting guards in the NBA, evident from his two All-Star selections in back-to-back years (2020-2021 and 2021-2022). LaVine\u2019s best season came in 2020-2021, when he averaged 27.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists.<\/p>\n<p>However, he\u2019s coming off a year where he played in just 25 games due to injuries. He averaged 19.5 points and shot 34.9% from 3-point range on 6.8 attempts per game in those 25 games. LaVine\u2019s 34.9% 3-point percentage was his worst since 2017-18.<\/p>\n<p>Though LaVine is still a good player and could be used on the Warriors, Andy Bailey wrote that they would be the \u201cworst\u201d landing spot for the California native.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat game, which is more \u201chooper\u201d than \u201cbasketball player,\u201d would be trickier to assimilate into a Warriors scheme that has long emphasized ball and player movement. There\u2019s a lot less \u201cyour turn, my turn\u201d in Golden State,\u201d\u00a0Bailey wrote on September 16. \u201cAnd though that offense probably needs some juice, too, LaVine probably isn\u2019t the right source of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors finished 10th in the Western Conference last season. If they struggle again to start the year, they could be in desperation mode. LaVine could be that move if no other \u201cstar\u201d becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>LaVine, who\u2019s playing on a five-year, $215.1 million deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyAndrew Wiggins dribbling the ball The\u00a0Golden State Warriors\u00a0showed interest in\u00a0Lauri Markkanen\u00a0and\u00a0Paul George\u00a0during the offseason, an indication that they\u2019d still like to land a star before the season&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2343,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
