NBA Rumors: Lakers could use Russell Westbrook to get Zach LaVine https://t.co/5jIh6ZYc1T via @bolavipus

With that in mind, NBA insider Zach Lowe recently discussed a potential trade to swap Zach LaVine and Russell Westbrook, stating the Bulls would gladly accept the Lakers’ two future first-round picks:
“Lakers get: Zach Lavine
Bulls get: Russell Westbrook, two 1st round draft picks (“one unprotected and the second one has the most limited possible protections that’s allowable under NBA rules”)”

Of course, we get another injury prone superstar.
Other question is can Zach play defense.
If this is a realistic, the Lakers would likely bite.
He’s a barely all-star, injury prone, doesn’t move the needle, and is grossly overpaid. So perfect fit, I suppose.
I don’t know whether I want to trade for LaVine. There are better options in my opinion but we know the Lakers love superstars. It’s a clear upgrade over Russ so I guess you have to do it if available. I would still rather have VanVleet and Trent, Jr. How about you?
lol, Zach just truing to stay relevant these days. I honestly dont see the Bulls selling out on this season. They, like us, could do with some good health news. Zach, who is certainly not a Laker fan, probably just trolling Rob lol.
