He is the perfect guy to put next to Luka and would be insane given the attention Luka gets.I think the ship has sailed on a Lavine trade, at least for the assets we have. Him being a young all star makes him pretty untouchable with our assets, IMO. The time to have pulled that trigger would have been a KP fresh off his all bubble performance. I'd love to be wrong and KP being in their vision going forward, I just can't see why he would be. Only way it works is if he demanded a trade to here and only here and they see him as a PF, or they trade Vuc as well.
Watch this highlight and ask yourself what would this guy do with Luka setting him up:

Two more things, Lavine for KP has us giving them a lot more. I'm thinking JB and possibly DFS, they just traded OPJ away. I also would be very against LM coming here if we got Lavine from them. Not enough defense. Man, if only we could have done a WCJ and Lavine deal last summer.
