2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[F Gump]

Stein says the Mavs are interested in Zach LaVine. As unlikely as such a pursuit is to succeed, what financial maneuvering is required to even make it possible?

To sign ZL this summer, the cost of doing all it takes to clear salary plus trade for him would be impractical, and to sign him outright gets even worse.

So the most likely avenue I see (although still one I don't see as all that likely) is this one:

1 Mavs sign Brunson for whatever it takes.
2 Bulls sign ZL for whatever it takes.
3 In 6 months, teams swap those 2 players which better fill their needs.
