The thing is, LaVine has :crosses fingers: been healthy and is putting up his typical all star productivity. I would think his value is up from when we were all arguing about him the last season or so.
I’m not a fan of the return we got.
The CHA 1st is a fake 1st that the FO can use in headlines to make themselves look good but it’s just that… a fake 1st that is really 2 2nds. I really hope at the very least the 2027 SAS and 2031 MIN 1sts are unprotected.
The roster is still unbalanced at this point, and I shudder to think about how bad our defense will be when we have Monk, LaVine, DeRozan, & Sabonis in the starting lineup. Lets see if Monte has anything else cooked up to balance the roster before Thursday’s deadline.
I don't understand what you are saying, sorry. Are you complaining about DeRozan?
He’s shooting above 40% from three at volume. Considering how awful we’ve been from the perimeter, he’s going to improve spacing a lot.The thing is, LaVine has :crosses fingers: been healthy and is putting up his typical all star productivity.

Why would Utah do that?Debo to Utah for Collins and a 1st and a 2nd
Spurs are dependent on Wemby being healthy. Remeber Yao?The first round picks are a joke
Spurs first will be late 20’s
Charlotte will be seconds
Minnesota who knows if we’re alive in 2031
No I like lylesQuick, call Brooklyn, offer Lyles and the CHA first for Johnson!!![]()
To Brooklyn for cam Johnson and Noah clowneyDerozan + Lyles on the move now?
Sure. But I'm of the opinion that Keon should be starting. He just should. His impact is enormous. And unlike Fox, LaVine ain't running point, so there's no sending Monk back to the bench. Carter's not close to ready, so Monk is now your full-time starting PG. And yeah, LaVine can flex for some minutes at the 3, but Keon's not starting with those two guys. Monk/LaVine/DeRozan is a dangerously poor defensive trio.

“The Spurs were going to kill the deal if Stephon Castle was included.”
Plus we have no idea what the market really is now after the Mavs took a sledgehammer to it last night.Statistically, LaVine is playing out of his mind this year, just need him healthy.
24ppg 4.5apg 4.8rpg on 51.1/44.6/79.7
This trade is basically Fox for LaVine, 2 1st round picks, and a bunch of 2nd rounders.
Honestly, not bad at all because I don't think there were many suitors for Fox. Doesn't really seemed like any other team was serious about him... should kinda tell you about his value around the league.

Whos we sir?To be fair, the Spurs completely made out like bandits here. They got Fox and only sent out Collins and one first that *might* be great, and a bunch of only OK picks. But it's just that we didn't get fleeced because we managed to get LaVine out of it. The Bulls are rebuilding and wanted to get off that salary, great. They didn't get a whole ton of stuff except salary relief though.
I think sharing an offensive load on the Kings will contribute to better health.. hopefully.. We really need a backup for Sabonis and another 3/4
The Spurs had to give up the Bulls pick this season which isn’t nothing. Their main backup guard is now going to be Jordan McLaughlin apparently.To be fair, the Spurs completely made out like bandits here.
