I know a lot of you shit on D’Lo. But if we get Lavine, it’ll be similar but Lavine will be in a worse fit because he cannot pass. Lavine brings nothing to a team outside of scoring and he’s only averaging 22 PPG on one of the worst teams in the league. He’s a guard that relies on athleticism to score and his athleticism is waning. He can’t playmake and he can’t defend. He may have been worth going after a year ago. But not anymore.
And this is not me defending D’Lo. Whatever D’Lo is, he is. If you’re low on him, you should be low on Lavine. If you’re high on him, you should be high on Lavine. Because right now they are similar caliber players. Lavine might be worth getting in a straight up deal for D’Lo or Reaves. But packaging anyone or any picks is not worth it.
Agreed. Our roster is not the issue. Injuries and and consequent lack of chemistry on both sides of the ball are due to little to no continuity. Also, DLO is the better playmaker while Lavine is the better scorer. In that regard, I vote DLO.
