Chicago Blues defenseman Zach Lavigne wants to be traded to the Lakers. Such information appeared after the day before it became known about the player’s disagreements with the management of Chicago and Demar DeRozan.
“Lavigne wants to go to the Lakers, it’s pretty obvious by now. His agents (Lavin is represented by LeBron James’ Klutch Sports agency) want him to play in Los Angeles, he went to UCLA, spread rumors about his contract last year and have been paving the way for a move if things they didn’t go well. Chicago. This appears to be exactly what is happening.
The problem here is that the Lakers have nothing to offer for Lavin, they can only send Anthony Davis to Chicago. This is theoretically possible: Davis is from Chicago, and therefore the option with the Bulls is one of the few that will suit him. Indeed, the Bulls and Lakers will trade stars who have health issues. Avalanche is 27 years old, he’s younger than Davis, that’s his advantage over him, but when he’s healthy, Davis is incomparably better,” the manager of the Eastern Conference club said as quoted by Heavy.com.
The source adds, “A full overhaul isn’t possible as the season progresses, but they may be starting to prepare. As the season progresses, they won’t be giving away Zach Lavin. They are more likely to get rid of Demar DeRozan, and it is better to wait until summer than to try to trade him before the deadline.
Demar DeRozan’s contract is for one more season (he’s entitled to $28.6 million).
Lavigne signed a new five-year, $215.6 million deal last summer.
