LaVine is putting up amazing individual numbers this year. BUT....
1) He is still just barely cracking 20 PER doing so (and has never had a season over 20 PER).
2) He has an incredibly bad -12.3 on/off this year (-15.3 defensively...!) and in his 7 year career has only ONE season with a positive on/off impact.
My take:
Giving up FOUR unprotected 1sts AND two swaps is something I would be hesitant to do period in almost any situation. But doing so for a player who has shown to be mostly an "empty stats" guy, a big defensive negative, and a chronic "loser" (for lack of a better term) just feels absurd IMO.
