To lose or to lose.
In the last eight games, the Bulls have only won against the Heat. In fact, the Chicagoans have won just three since November.
With a poor record, it's not hard to understand why the news broke that the Bulls were going to trade LaVine. To be exact,The Chicago Bulls are going to rebuild their roster and even rebuild
As always, any potential trade involving stars will have to do with the Lakers. However, I don't think LaVine is "reliable".
Reason 1, contract。Over time, player salaries have generally risen. For Lavin, there are 4 years leftA big contract of 700 million. If you don't jump out of the contract in the last year, it's 48 million.
Reason two, the playoffs。So far in his career, LaVine has played 571 regular season games, but only four in the playoffs. This is one of them.
Second, in the playoffs, LaVine's true shooting percentage was only 553%, and the turnover rate is as high as 147%。
As far as the second point is concerned, LaVine has a sense of "pseudo-star" déjà vu. Coupled with large contracts, it brings that the cost performance is not high.
Some people may say that Laven is not good as a big boss and a second master, but the third master is too "fragrant". Is this really the case?
Illustrative point 1: Counterexamples。In the 22-23 playoffs, Russell used 21., which was second only to James Mei on the teamOnly 51. is pitched at 9% round usage6% True Hit Rate.
Illustrative point 2: Positive example。Also that season, Reeves had an 18 percent usage rate on the roundCast 61 under 5%.6% True Hit Rate.
Relatively speaking, Russell is more immediate than Reeves, but his performance is far less than the latter. In other words, even if Zhan Mei is restrained, what should it be like or what it should be.
In addition to the low cost performance, even if the Lakers want to trade LaVine, they need to send at least 2-3 players from the perspective of salary leveling. Invisibly, this "hurts the muscles and bones".
And we can't ignore Gabe Vincent.
Note 1: Contracts。This offseason, Vincent signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Lakers.
Note 2: Performance。In the finals against the Nuggets in the 22-23 season, Vincent averaged 11+2 data per game. It is worth mentioning that the average points per game are second only to Adebayo and Butler in the Heat.
As far as the second point is concerned, Vincent has the ability and mental quality to fight tough battles. Considering the contract with an average salary of 11 million, it can be said that the cost performance is relatively high.
Based on this, I think Vincent is much more reliable than Lavin. This "reliable" is more of a reflectionTough and cost-effective
So, even though Vincent is currently recovering from an injury, I think it's still worth the Lakers waiting. At the end of the day, it's good value for money.
What's more critical is that the Lakers must still want to win the championship. And Vincent has the ability to fight tough battles. In other words, to be able to help Zhan Mei.
