The Lakers and Bulls are close to a deal that will go four-for-one, with Pelinka meeting with the players
Looking to the future. Famous American journalist KJohnson believes that LaVine is not worth a long-term contract right now, and that the Bulls will have to pay a bigger price if they want to renew Zach LaVine's contract. He also mentioned why Bulls administrators have delayed the trade for LaVine.
There may also be concerns that LaVine will renew their contract, but according to NBC News, he denied that because no team will be held accountable for it yet. Looking at LaVine's contract over the years, in addition to this season, LaVine has a three-year contract, and his annual income is about $40 million. Obviously, no one wants to buy such a piece of fat.
The problem now is that instead of using their fortune to get rid of LaVine, the Bulls are always trying to trade some potential rookie or draft pick. Now, LaVine is just a big contract with a long period of time, with no practical value and no growth potential. Frankly, LaVine does like slam dunk because it's safer.
With a right leg injury, LaVine has averaged 19 games this season5 points 51 rebound 3Nine assists, while his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 452%, and the 3-point shooting percentage also dropped to 349%。According to renowned journalist Shams, LaVine will be disqualified from the tournament this season.
Detroit's talks with LaVine were terminated, while the Lakers were still pursuing him.
As we all know, Los Angeles and Detroit are the most promising teams to get LaVine. According to a well-known U.S. news agency, the Pistons agreed to LaVine's reimbursement for the season and temporarily halted negotiations with the Chicago Bulls about LaVine. According to sources familiar with the matter, Lakers managers have been in discussions with the Bulls about a trade for LaVine.
The Lakers want to lower LaVine's earnings, they want the team to try to come up with a salary of their own next season, and then the Lakers have a chance to make a clear deal with them. And for Russell, Wood, Vincent, and potential newcomer Christie, it's all exchangeable.
The Bulls' hierarchy is also in a dilemma, as they hope to restore LaVine's strength while also hoping to recruit more players. So, the Bulls managers will choose a chain that will provide the best results, and according to recent reports, the Lakers managers have made some contact with James, and they would love to see LaVine joined, because LaVine can play with them, so they don't have a lot of pressure.
On the Lakers' operations team, Palinga is in talks with LaVine in the hope that he will agree to a pay cut. Regardless of whether LaVine will have his salary cut because of the championship, this decision seems to make sense, considering that in a big city like Los Angeles, if LaVine wants to gain the approval of the fans, then he can only choose to lower his salary.
At the end. I think the Los Angeles Lakers are still very competitive, and now that they've got a playoff spot in the Western Conference, as long as they play well, it shouldn't be a problem to finish eighth, and with LaVine on board, there's a lot less pressure on James, so I think the Lakers can definitely move forward this season.
More warriors please! The Clippers agreed to the 24+19 winger to help James complete his career!
