Houston didn't want the shitty return they got for Harden but he was still able to force a trade... Lavine would actually have more leverage since he's on the final year of his contract.
This 100% and I am not sure why there is not a unanimous agreement on this.
Lavine is the most realistic and best option given the agent connection and him being on the last year of his contract. He is the perfect fit to Luka as he is everything that Luka is not (Athletic, quick, explosive) while still being a legit ISO scorer just like Luka that can be a secondary playmaker when needed.
The biggest thing lost in the Curry trade was that Curry could score unassisted and was a bail out option when Luka was being heavily focused.
As you said yes I think we can get Lavine for nothing and we may be able to get Thaddeus Young as well.
I will happily do something like this
Chicago Receives
Buddy Hield
Delon Wright
Tyrell Terry
2 1st round picks
2 2nd round picks
Dallas Receives
Laure Markkenen (Sign and Trade)
Zach Lavine
Sacramento Receives
Kristaps Porzingis
The hope is that Duffy can be of some help here but he has 2 guys on that team in Vucevic and Lavine so who knows.
You could see something like this or you could see a three way trade with a team like Sacramento involved.
KP will definitely be traded
