2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

I know he’s probably full of shit but there’s no financial way for them to bring Lavine while keeping LeBitch and AD is there?

Have to get rid of Westbrook somehow, bring in Zach at 38 mil, and also shed 17 mil of space (only like 7 mil if they renounce the rights to all their min guys) in the process to stay under the tax apron. They only have 2027 (and 2029 I think) available to make that happen. The only assets they remotely have are THT, Nunn, and Stanley Johnson.

In short, fat chance imo.

Are the Bulls interested in Westbrook? I don't think so. Especially if it's costing them Zach Lavine. What would be interesting is an Anthony Davis for Lavine swap. Now that I can see happening.

The only question is are the Lakers that much better with Westbrook/Lavine/Lebron vs. Westbrook/Davis/Lebron? I don't think so. You can make a solid argument that it makes them worse too. Odds are Westbrook turns into John Wall as well.
