DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[KillerLeft]

In any case its just speculation. I do think you're overstating how much Chicago loves Lavine. There were multiple rumors that he wanted out because of Boylen alone and that Chicago was shopping Lavine throughout the season. I do think it'd take a good amount to get him, but by no means is Lavine apart of some upper class of asset that will cost a team everything like Beal.

Agreed. Definitely not as hot of a commodity as Beal, and that's why the name was even leaked without people going crazy. 

But, our opinion of what the player is worth doesn't dictate the cost, it only colors our opinion on whether to say "yes" or "no." 

You might be right that I'm guessing too high on his trade value, but I promise you it's at least a little higher than you think right now.
