The latest scoop on a potential trade proposal that could place NBA All-Star Zach LaVine in Canada.
Bentley, of course, knows Brownhill well, with the pair having previously played together at Bristol City.
Don’t let the Chicago Bulls’ two-game winning run fool you into thinking this is a dysfunctional club in desperate need of personnel changes. While reports indicate that the Bulls are having problems dealing All-Star winger Zach LaVine, Dan Favale has devised a trade idea that could benefit both the Bulls and the Toronto Raptors.
Send LaVine to the Raptors for numerous assets
LaVine is a terrific player capable of explosive scoring bursts and physical feats. It’s simply that his flashes of brilliance haven’t always translated to team success; his most recent time with the Bulls is proof of that. However, a change of scenery could be just what the guard needs to fulfill his full potential.
Favale suggests trading LaVine and Terry Taylor to the Raptors in exchange for a package that includes two first-round selections, shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., big man Precious Achiuwa, and young stars Chris Boucher and Gradey Dick.
“Exiting any trade with two firsts, a recent lottery pick, and a smattering of short-term contracts is a win for the Bulls at this point,” Favale wrote for Bleacher Report.
Solidifies the roster
This trade will subtract one All-Star from the Bulls’ equation, but the addition of solid role players will help balance the roster better.
“Boucher, Dick, and GTJ all help stretch the floor around DeMar DeRozan while beefing up depth across the 2-3-4 slots. The Achiuwa experience is not nearly as tantalizing as it was 18 months ago, but the Bulls can experiment with some frisky, turbocharged frontcourt setups that feature him (or Boucher) at the 5,” Favale added.
