Everyone in their cousin would do that deal. Wiz would probably ask for a lot more. KP looking like damaged goods right now.

KP and Brunson to Chicago
for Lavine and Wendell Carter Jr
From Chicago's perspective, my guess is Lavine will leave Chicago in free agency in the summer of 2022. KP is locked up through the summer of 2024.
Chicago's starting lineup:
Brunson
White
Markkanen
Williams
KP
I'm assuming they'll be a lottery team and as a result can strengthen their roster with their own 2021 1st round pick.
From Dallas's perspective, Lavine will be our Robin.
Dallas' starting lineup:
Luka
Lavine
Richardson
DFS
W. Carter
Burke
THJ
Green
Maxi
Powell
Johnson and WCS rounding out the bench. Terry, Hinton, Iwundu, Bey, and Boban completing out the rest of the bench.
I would not be opposed to adding draft capital to complete the trade or some of our young assets in Terry or Green. Your thoughts?
At this point I am so low on KP, I am not sure this is a fixable problem (we will see). I doubt Mavs move KP any time soon but they have been aggressive in their moves since Luka got here so who knows.
A LaVine + WCJ for KP is a pretty fair swap given that LaVine will be leaving the Bulls one way or another before his deal is up. Bulls would have to hope that they fix what's wrong with KP. Mavs would look great with those two.
