Short answer no, long answer NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
for real I hope its clear these dudes are farming for views
I would like to ad a HELL NO
So basically you’re saying no 👎🏿 then???😂
HELLLLLLL NOOOOO and can we stop this narrative please
for real I hope its clear these dudes are farming for views
NO NO NO ZL is injury prone and extremely expensive. Get a gd center
Yes yes
According to Chicago insiders(I'm Just reporting It), the injury prone stuff is more of a legend, or, at least, something connected to the last season. I dont know, but the issue here is the contract, plus the player you Need to get rid of, in order to sign the guy..
They need wings more than centre a gaurd defender who can shoot and a 3 who can defend and shoot then you can play lebron and AD at 4 and 5 its just much better.
Zach lavine is not injury prone last year he played hurt and it got worse so we call him injury prone cus he missed most of last year
They can still get a cheap center like Walker Kessler because the Bulls are not asking for any 1st round picks for Zach Lavine. The Lakers can keep their 1st round picks and Zach Lavine.
Lakers:Dlo,Rui, Gabe
Bulls: Zach, 1st round pick
That’s a good trade we can package that first for a big and slide Ad to the 4
As much as I would love for us to get Zach Lavine that contract is not worth it. We will regret trading for that contract
The Bulls need our three guys way more than the lakers need Zach.
Lakers desperately need Zach
They throw in Coby or Ayo and we talking lol
@@ozzee5094no they don’t. Lol
At 29 years of age you don't need lavine the Lakers are rebuilding on the fly mostly young players on the roster you already have a 40 year old in LeBron plus a aging Anthony Davis let the season play out and finish developing the youth @@ozzee5094
@@DJJE928 they desperately need Zach he gives them a legitimate 3rd scoring option with insane athleticism and he’s excellent off ball so his fit with Davis and Lebron would be seamless. The Lakers also wouldn’t have to give up any picks so they’d be able to trade Hayes and picks to the jazz for walker kessler. New lakers rotation would be
Pg- Austin reaves
Sg- Zach lavine
Sf- jarred Vanderbilt
Pf- lebron james
C- Anthony Davis
Key reserves , walker Kessler, max christie, dalton knect, Christian wood this is simply a much more well rounded team that fits far better than the current roster. The lakers would have some of the best rim protection in the nba with Davis and Kessler. They’d have one of the best offenses with Lebron lavine Davis and reaves. They’d also have elite rebounding and size.
Imagine us trading our players just for Zach to get injured
Lavine will be on the floor with AD and Bron which means he wont have to play hard and carry the team like in the bulls. plus there is load management now
If you want to win headlines, get Zach. If you want to win a championship, get a Center.
Even with a center, Reaves and Dlo are still unreliable. They need another piece
@@wilsonodhiambo8578 And Zach is that “reliability” you desire? A player making $40M+ while having more seasons playing sub-60 games than over 70? We need a center more than we need to replace AR & DLo.
we need a center
And a reliable superstar guard
Hell no way too expensive and always injured you can't have three guys making over 40 million a year with the new CBA they would have no depth
Lakers just need to get healthy. Give me healthy wood and vando
If the bulls were willing ro attach 1 1st round pick,,then get walker kessler and collin sexton
Sounds like a plan until you realize it would require $64M in contracts to get those 3 (which would mean DLo, Rui, Vando, Vincent and Christie). Plus, Chicago isn't going to attach a 1st coming off a great preseason performance and Utah wants two firsts.
The lakers don’t NEED Zach, a good center to play alongside AD should be the most obvious need to the lakers FO.
They can do both
Yes they do… you will change your mind after the first 10 games..
They can do both
They need good wing defender who can shoot its obvious and also a perimeter gaurd who can shoot and defend.. They need say dfs and AC type players more than they need a centre even
We can give up RUI & Austin! Zach is better than both combined. WTF is wrong with y’all, do you want to win?
Does Rob Pelinka get enough heat for blowing the championship team ?
AD was shooting 3s. We had 2 big. Ball handlers. That team would still be well constructed for today's league.
Nope. If we go after LaVine, we’ve lost our focus. We don’t need a scorer. We have enough scoring. We need a big and maybe a 2 way wing.
Dlo/Rui/Gabe averaged 20Ppg altogether in the playoffs lol
this team doesn’t have enough scoring lol if AD or bron goes out for a week or two who on this team are you relying on ?
@@kreezyn they gon bring up the celtics and bucks game.. although most teams take it lightly when they see LBJ wasn’t playing
Your forgetting that it’s a guarantee that Dlo is going to disappear in the playoffs, so the 3rd leading scorer on the team becomes a scrub in the postseason, we need a legitimate 3rd option that doesn’t fold under pressure.
@@kreezynwell duh obviously if we lose our top 2 scorers we’d be in trouble. Lavine wouldn’t help in that situation anyway. Lol
I just want to see the Lakers go all in and use those picks to improve. The window for LeBron & Davis is closing. It's now or never. Are we trying to win a championship or not? We need a center more than anything, but we also need a 2-way wing. Max Christie as our only 2-way wing is very concerning.
Raleigh Simmons coached by Fred Tex Winter. ABSOLUTELY go get Zach LaVine.
Naw we need to just get a center man. Our team now can maybe be in the top 6
Hell no!!! That would be Russell Westbrook 2.0. Not saying LaVine is worse than Westbrook, but we can't afford his contract. We already are close to the Tier2 apron. We can't do three max contracts unless we know we are getting to the Championship. It worked so well for the Clippers and Suns.?? Get Walker Kessler and trade the picks - why are we being stingy with picks when we need a big more than a 3nD wing, and while we still have LeBron on the squad. Kessler is a better contract and we could extend him easier than if we have M Turner. And forget J Grant, let him rot on Portland's roster - he is not even an upgrade over Rui.
He’ll no to 2 firsts for Kessler you smoking angel dust 😂
Big facts! HELL NO😡😤
You mean Westbrick not Westbrook
Lakers not trading for anybody, this is just something to talk about.
LaVine & Vucevic is tough because their ACTUAL basketball fits next to Bron & AD would be complimentary & intriguing. It would have to be for the right price
This is the worst preseason schedule ever known to man. We haven't played since Thursday!
Agreed 💯😢
lol there playing tomorrow calm down
This is Trevor crush he on like 3 different youtube channels trying to hypnotize Lakers fans into liking Zach Levine trade to lakers idea. But i only seen 1 Lakers fan not hate that idea of the trade.
💯 PERCENT@@vengeancewillbemine3440
I said this on another RUclips Lakers page. I like Zach and he's a star but between his injury history and that massive contract i would not trade for him.
Maybe if he's playing really well still close to deadline and we need to take a big swing sure but rn this team just needs some rotation players that address needs such as a legitimate back up center.
Zach isn’t a star lol he’s paid like one but he’s not one
Lavine will be on the floor with AD and Bron which means he wont have to play hard and carry the team like in the bulls. plus there is load management now
@@wilsonodhiambo8578 he’s not going to the lakers
If we get frps back lol. He’s not worth the risk. He’s injury prone wb set us back so bad we seen how this movie goes.
Lakers need a big and a dynamic guard; I would get Torrey Craig in the Zach trade and I’m keeping Gabe Vincent and sending out Austin Reaves who’s not very good at any one thing
Austin reaves is way better than that scrub gabe Vincent smh casual
@@ozzee5094 absolutely NOT on the defensive end which is all we would need him for and to hit his open shots as he would get many open shots unlike Austin Reaves who’s boring to even watch and all he is is a possible struggle 15 points but will give up way more than that
We need people who can grab rebounds. Center, forward, whatever, we need rebounds.
No Zack, team chemistry is more important. We need kessler.
Bro... Nobody is gonna wanna watch a 36 minute video about shit that's not happening nor any videos about any hypothetical trade. Im pretty sure everyone just paused the video and went straight to the comment section to tell you all these vids are a waste of time until Rob or Bronny Or Bron or Reddick leave
Literally what I did.
Speak for yourself
Lakers should not trade for ZL
The sports talking heads are saying Dlo, Gabe , JHS, Cam and 2 first round picks for Levine. This is insane for a guy hurt all the time.
you just named 4 players that are no where close to lavine’s level😂 jhs? cam? he’s by far better than everyone on this team besides ad, bron not even close
The Negatives - LaVines contract
Injury concern
Not a true #1 option
Lakers depth impacted
CBA
The Positives - An actual 3rd option on this Lakers team
Lakers dont need to give up assets just matching salary/help from a 3rd team
Bron can take a paycut and his salary isn't as impactful
High salary to make a decision if they want to trade him down the road for a true #1 option with draft picks / if Bron decides to retire
We will end up with more frustrating Injury Updates podcasts.
Zach would be a Dope Fit on Our Team but, His Contract is The Challenge along with US still not having a Perimeter Defender in the Starting Line Up or a Bac(k) Up Big Man. In addition, who would play PG if AR/Zach were starting (AR is not a Starting PG in The NBA). I also think We gone wait til the Trade Deadline to make a move to see who fits in this System out of D’Lo/Rui/Vando/Jaxson/Wood.
Lastly, I hope AR gets Better Soon however, this will give US a chance to see how MaxC fits with D’Lo and the Starting Line Up. JJ is not gone bring AR off the Bench but, I like the D’Lo/MaXC & Gabe/AR combos bcuz We will always have a Perimeter Defender on The Court.
We need to trade AUSTIN for LAVINE it’s not a question.
@@rayd4974 - It wouldn’t be a Question if LaVine was making $15-$30 Mil however, He’s, making $43 Million. We would have to Trade Rui/AR/Gabe/FINO. So, We would start D’Lo/Zach/Vando/LBJ/AD with Gabe/MaxC/Knecht/Wood/Jaxson coming off the Bench.
I can see that working however, We would need LBJ to take less in 25/26 so, We could bring in some other players when Wood/Jaxson leave after the Season.
Yes they should. And here is why.
I don’t care about salaries or none of that stuff. That’s Pelinka’s job.
If adding Lavine results in a Championship does it matter? I’ll take a ring followed by years of mediocrity vs. years of being really good but never getting a ring.
I think Lavine can give us a solid 60 games and really help cover for Bron while he is resting. He scores, slashes, and facilitates so he’s like a LeBron-lite.
🤔🤔...depends on what the lakers give up..but ok 😏👍
Nooooooo i wouldn't make the trade stop trying to break this team better coaching last year the lakers would have the nuggets
Yes!! Go get Lavine and Kessler
Id take zach over kuzma dont like any options though..
Definitely would NOT give up Rui, Dlo, & Gabe for Lavine.
Rui is the two way wing we need. He took a big step up this past year & summer with the Olympics and he’s going to show and prove my words.
We just need to add another big
Lakers need to make a roster spot and sign Dwight Howard on a minimum and keep it moving.
A simple move that’s an truly only financial blow. We can easily cut a two way player. So if the lakers want to win they need to spend money.
2 way wing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Rui cannot defend for nothing with them slow feet he doesn’t rebound either
People who thinks he should be on the team don't watch the games, only the stats.
NO!!
2 lakers starters and a defensive 3pt shooter off the bench is not worth 1 expensive player that gets hurts. We already have team that's seems to get injured.
Why would we trade for lavine were stack at guards we just draft knecth that's dumb question
W sponsor 🔥🔥🔥
This is simple: If the bulls attach a first for us to take his contract, yes, anything else, no.
NEVER TREVOR. REMEMBER THE WESTBROOK FIASCO😮😮😮😢😢😢😢
Lavine is an elite off ball scorer and shooter
@@ozzee5094exactly, westbrook would’ve worked but the brother can’t make a jumpshot wide open 😂.. nobody expected him to be that bad of a shooter.
I don't think the lakers are even considering it.
Knecht will make a big difference for us this year. He will be the difference maker.
Same topics over and over ! Just focus on the main roster
LaVine is injury prone, on a high salary and giving up too much in terms of draft picks and assets would be beyond stupid. This has the making of a deal that only an incompetent GM and a clueless owner would go for. Disparate times, disparate majors?
You only ever discuss Lavine if THE BULLS include at least one first rounder in the deal...
Lavine nope.To inconsistent and expensive and injury prone.😊
AD injury prone too. Why JJ got him the fuck away from Center and play him in the talent of his dominance. It works.
Just imagine a line up with Walker Kessler, Ad, Bron,Vando and Zach
Zach is underrated as a player, but his contract is bad. Too many injuries. Too many questions about his defence.
For $25 mill? Absolutely! I'll take him any day! $30 mill or above? Hmm... $40 mill? There's just no room for that on a serious team.
Yes if they want to be stuck with a injury prone player in Lavine with a horrific contract who will leave in the future anyway
Not signing jonas to the mle over the summer will haunt us this season. If we solved the bruiser big issue with Jonas then id be for trading for lavine or trae young. But we gotta solve that issue first!
I think korloko is a better fit then Jonas Jonas defensively is ass
No way
Dlo and Rui are 50/40 guys. Lavine has never been that
Lavine is the best player on his team and shooting about 46 40.. imagine the looks he would get playing with LbJ/AD.
Goofy Zach lavine did that while averaging 27 plus dlo has never done that 😂😂😂
It won't make much of a difference.
The current big's on the lakers roster are not it TRADE FOR A LEGIT STARTING CENTER THAN HAVE HAYES AS A BACK UP SLIDE CRISTIAN WOOD TO POWER FORWARD & HAVE HIM BACK UP AD THAN U CAN TINKER TO SEE WHO'S A BETTER STARTING FIT BETWEEN VANDO OR RUI
LEBRON PLAYS POWER FORWARD 😂
@RK-ck6pl when u move AD to power forward lebron goes back to small forward
@@terrelllittle668 He plays power forward if he could still play small forward he would. he's old.
@RK-ck6pl lebron is 39 almost 40 still averaging 24 8 & 8 any team in the nba would take that move him to small forward & by having a center & AD at the power forward that takes the stress off his body
@@terrelllittle668 lol First of all they would play him wherever he wants to be played just like we do. Second of all it's way more stressful trying to get down low and play perimeter defense than it is to stand upright and rebound in the paint. Playing interior defense is a walk in the park compared to defending someone on the perimeter. There's a reason as players get older they all move up a bigger position to play against slower players.
Hell noooo....as good as he looks it is fools gold......yes he is smooth, yes he can shoot and jump and look great but i watched the bulls closely and i can tell you he is a choker, a guy who will not only not come through in the clutch most of the time but make stupid decisions instead of smart plays, he has a tendency to think he is the man and shoot low percentage fall away 3s and leave you shaking your head like WTF....i would consider a trade if it didnt cost us much in terms of players exchanged and more importantly a huge contract that the bulls regret since the ink dried
Come on now bro.. why would he come to LA and think he’s the best player 😂… he’ll be the #3..
He is the man on the bulls you act like he didn’t have a season averaging over 27 ppg on over 50 percent field goal and over 40 percent 3 point shooting on the lakers he’d feast
I THINK LAKERS NEEDS AN EXCELLENT CENTER
This doesnt help at all on defence and he is not a great shooter he is an ok one which means no fn way.. It makes no sense Paul George money but with out paul george defence and a worse shooter f that
No that time is over maybe few years ago yes but not now. We need a solid starter big center top priority. I’d rather get Brandon Ingram than Zach
If they go for Zach then i'm done with this team
I’ll hurt myself if we trade for lavine
dlo rui is 33 mil and both players dont fit or make us that much better in post season then u add a contract like vincent and a minimum and ur there. u still get to keep most of your core which would be vanderbilt,reaves and christie if u wanna include him. we get to keep the guy whose games seem to translate in to post season and fit on this team and dont have to give picks. people dont realize how good of a move this is.
3 players that gave us an average of 20 ppg total in the playoffs last year 😂 while two of them are terrible on defense
@@wills.9422 exactly my point..this is why i laughed when mother fuckers were saying "oh we gonna give up depth for kyrie" meanwhile in the playoffs that year beasley and bamba didnt play and dlo and vanderbilt got benched in the western conference finals. mind u we coulda kept vando cuz he was only 2 mil, we just had to get rid of dlo and rui and yet we chose "depth" over them. we about to make the same mistake here.. i seen the ceiling of this team 2 years ago.. i dont need to see it 3 years in a fuking row,we need a real move like this one or go all in for a trade like anferee simons and jerami grant. i prefer this cuz this doesnt mess with our future in the long term.
Especially since he’s healthy now you wouldn’t even have to add a minimum as Zach is making 43 mil this season so dlo gabe and rui works out perfectly. Then I’d immediately target walker Kessler for Hayes and a first round pick in 2029 and id upgrade the 2027 first round protected pick the lakers gave Utah in the dlo trade into an unprotected pick to sweeten the offer. New lakers rotation
Pg- Austin reaves
Sg- Zach lavine
Sf- jarred Vanderbilt
Pf- Lebron james
C- Anthony Davis
Bench
Pg- Quincy olivari
Sg- max christie
Sf- dalton knect
Pf- Christian wood
C- walker Kessler
@@tyresejones3535jazz already have the Lakers 2027 1st. It's protected 1-4... But are the Lakers projected to really fall down that far once LeBron retires?
Unless AD also leaves then I could see them drafting in the top 4 picks of the lottery 😂
Surely with Lavine and AD, they would win enough games to not be a bottom 4 team across the league.
Means that, unless the Lakers are an absolute dumpster fire in 2027, there wouldn't be a reason that the jazz would need that 1-4 protection to be removed.
I think the pelicans would be willing to offer 2 firsts for Kessler... So I think the Lakers would have to offer 2.
@@tyresejones3535 wow 43 mil is even better than i thought...they really blowing this contract out of proportions.. we literaly have so many pieces on this roster that dont fit or suck in post season. this move would make us wayy better! even with the injury risk its worth it as we will end up wasting lebron and ad's duo if we keep the same roster. zach's contract is on their time line and we dont have to sacrifice anything for our future cuz bulls just wanna get rid of the contract. i think we should swoop in before a team like warriors get an idea.
Lakers want anything but another Center 😂
Dlo, Gabe, + Rui for Lavine
Knecht makes Rui expendable
I actually like that trade. Who would you have at the point though?
@@marquettegloves9907 Itd have to be AR/Bron/JHS splitting the duties
@@Nostalgia9478 see that's the issue with it. Bron running point is not ideal, it'll affect rebounding and transition D. AR is a shoot first 2 guard, and J Hood isn't good enough to start. J Hood is the only actual point guard of the 3, and while he's definitely much improved from last year he's still not there yet. If we could find a way to keep Gabe that would work best, I just don't see who else we could give them. Interesting convo
@@marquettegloves9907 Its not ideal, but AR can handle it.. He averaged 5.5 assists last year. Hes a playmaker and stated before last season that he wants to prove he can play pt guard.. AR would start and JHS would back him up.. Wed still have the 2 fist rd picks, we could trade for Kessler as well since hes cheap.. Get both those deals done and i think its worth it
@@marquettegloves9907 Its either Gabe or Vando.. Id rather give up Gabe than giving up both Rui and Vando.. Knecht makes Rui expendable, but not both Rui/Vando
You're totally wrong about Zach. Dude can score with the best of them in multiple way. With the attention LeBron and AD gets and their new offense, the Lakers would be a force
Yes, yes we should. He’s a baller, box office and can help us win now and later.
LeBron is about to be 40 and I do not want to go through a drought again after he leaves.
why did the bulls regret signing him to that huge contract if he is soo good? he never comes thru in the clutch bottom line
@flyinghotwing….. Well, on the Bulls he was expected to be a #1 and frankly he’s not and they do not have the right pieces around him.
On the Lakes, he’d be a number 3, playing along with one of the best facilitators of all time in LBJ. He’d be a perfect fit because he’s a shooter and the psychological weight would be lifted because of LBJ and AD caring a lot of that load.
@@tymcneal72 I have to say this comment is delusional and I don't know when Zach LaVine has been a baller in the last five or six years if not longer than that. He's a bum and he's always injured 24/7 and he is not a winner he does not win games in the playoffs we don't need another score we have plenty we need a fucking Center open your eyes and stop this dumbass narrative
@@flyinghotwingbecause he’s not a number one option, Zach would be the perfect 3rd option on a contending team.
I would have made that trade yesterday! Get it done!
Zach is the perfect type of player we need. We need a guy that score when lebron sits. Also we need a big body rim protection lob threat rebounder. Dwight, javale, demarcus. And we're good to go.
The problem is his availability. That twenty-two minutes he played the other day, will be the longest he plays in a game this year without getting hurt. No way for Zach. I'd take Utah center for two 1rd. picks him and AD on the floor together would give us enough to win it all.
I’m waiting to see laker nation break down that Dwight Howard podcast with Jeanie Buss. Some juicy stuff from that pod.
Why didn’t you add Torey Craig in the Zach Lavine trade.
Dlo, Rui, Vincent for Lavine, Craig
Those shots if you make em they would be in the playoffs too but thats clearly not a typical game
To the contrary, blow it up
I know Im reaching but would it be possible for the Gabe, Rui, and a Pick for Sengun in Jan?
The bulls does not want anything on the lakers roster its plain and simple
Lack of 2-way players and lack of spacing if AD plays PF lmaoooo
With those 3 players you metioned we could get Zach and Tory Craig.. i know Tory ain't the best 2way wing but hes a solid vet
Let’s get him
STOP wasting everyone's time Trevor talking about Zach Lavine. Its been established since the summer that it's a dumb trade idea. The Lakers need a big.
You repeat a lot of the SAME topics. Smh!
lakers would be lucky to get zack yall keep trying to build for the future you hot no future without a winning mentality
No Lavine. He is too expensive.
They need to give us a 1st rounder to take that contract
I’m confused by the logic in not trading 2 picks for Kessler tbh. His contract is super team friendly so if you get him, 2 years later he becomes a restricted free agent, if you want to trade him you can sign and trade, you can match salary and shoot for trade deadline trade on a bigger contract and recovery much of what you gave maybe more. It hard to find a legit argument against trading for Kessler imo. Also he is really really good for a young player.
The real problem with Zach Lavine is his health! He can't stay healthy long enough to be worth his contract. I like Zach's skillset, it's his health issues that makes him a bad risk!
Trade Talk For Lavine should be over and done. We need Wendall Carter from the magic
wendell just signed an extension he’s not getting traded
He would be on the injury list all yr like Bron and AD will be this year
3 players for one? If Vincent can be half the player he was in Miami that’s 8 ppg, Rui averaging 13 ppg, Dlo averaging 18 ppg. That’s almost 40 ppg gone. Zach is not significantly better than Dlo. You can make a case Dlo by himself is more important because he’s more available and has a better contract. Hell no!
13:45 Without 1sts? HELL YES I’M MAKING THAT TRADE
This is a move that will be solely for Bron and his remaining tenure in the league. This is what we call going all in. We can get him and not give up draft capital. We can then use that draft capital for a center OR use the extra roster spot to sign DHoward. We have options. But this current team isnt enough.
STOP 🛑!!
NO! NO! NO!
How about D-Lo,Vincent,Lewis and the 2 first founders for Sexton and Kessler ???.We send out 3 players and receive 2,and keep that 15 spot for the trading deadline or to sign another player.Qnd we get 2 young players for 2 important positions like Center and point guard
Meh only if they give us a first 😤😂
Gonna keep receipts for all the people on twitter aggressively pushing for this when Zach's knees fail again around December.
Trevor it would make sense to put Austin in the trade instead of rui. Rui has a different role on the team but Austin would oversaturate Levine
7 foot 250 is a center. AD needs to get over it. He’s like KD still claiming 6’9”
