Can LaVine shoot?

I bet if you employed some internet wizardry you could answer that question for yourself.

I think this is code for we want to trade Rubio. You people proposing Bradley and Crowder for Wiggins are clearly off your rockers. The only trades that I see us making with the Wolves are for either Lavine, Dieng, or Muhammed. I think the most beneficial trade for us is either for Dieng or Muhammed because with Dieng we get a good rebounder/shotblocker and with Muhammed we get a scoring threat off the bench along with depth at the 3.

While Lavine is an interesting piece for the Celtics he's a step down defensively and we'd probably have to give up too much to get him.

I know you disagreed the Lakers could make playoffs and we don't need to restart that, but razz what picks do you predict for the 76ers.
I actually said the Lakers had an outside shot at the playoffs because Walton was a good coach and he might get them some wins in close games against all the other bad teams.  I still don't think they'll make the playoffs but with all the bad teams I'm not sure its going to take 41 wins like I thought it would.  Before the season, I would have predicted the Sixers and Lakers finishing 3rd and 5th worst.  Now I'd predict 3rd and 10th worst.  As to the picks themselves, that's up to the lottery.  I really like how this draft is looking and wish we had that Lakers pick whether it ends up 10th or 15th.

More of a question is can he defend? Shooting and scoring alone won't earn him playing time under Brad Stevens, unless IT went out.

You can forget getting Lavine, Wiggins, Dieng, or KAT. He is most likely trying to trade a young guy like Tyus, Payne, or Shabazz and getting an OK vet to bring off the bench. Not a huge surprise.

This. The kinds of moves Thibs would be looking to make are more of a match with a team like the Nets or Sixers.
