This Zach LaVine Trade Situation is Wild 

If the warriors traded Klay then they would be back as top title contenders..but like you said they won't do it due to the goodwill he has with them..tough situation all round

I genuinely believe the Hornets are a sleeper contender for Lavine, they are in my opinion a volume scorer away from being a solid team who might attract interest from free agent stars over the next few windows, and with players such as PG, Kawhi, BI and Lauri being available they might look to get one of these guys. They also have pieces such as Bouknight and Nick Smith Jr who might be of interest for the the looking-to-rebuild Bulls, Hayward can make the trade work in terms of salary.

I wish you make a video about sallary caps, pick swaps and (un)protected picks, sometimes in the future. I'm from Europe, so maybe its a little bit confusing to me. Btw, love your work, keep it up! 😊

As a mavs fan, I'd rather get Caruso instead of Zac. Don't need more offense or shot creators.

As a Lakers fan I WILL BE SUPER DUPER PISSED OFF If the Los Angeles Lakers do that deal for Zach LaVine. I'm a huge fan of Zach LaVine and wanted him on the Lakers a long time ago especially when he said he would love to play with LeBron and AD When he was on First Take. But right now I think we have the best roster that we could possibly put together without a third star/superstar. Reaves seems to be finding his groove right now especially now coming off the bench as the 6th man and Rui has been phenomenal for us off the bench plus he's a young two-way player with a lot of potential that has been amazing for us. No need for that deal to go down for the Lakers they're doing fine especially when they don't know what they have because majority of their players have been dealing with injuries.

You have a point,look how good is DJJ now with the Mavs.

Warriors aren't giving up kuminga hes near untouchable

Never clicked so fast on one of your notifications. As a Bulls fan, why do they always have to trade my favorite guys? Jimmy, Lauri, and now Zach 😭😭

I wonder if they’ll be willing to deal Demar or Caruso as well

Lavine would fit so well with so many different teams. I would love to have him on the 76ers

I hate how lesser teams just get dropped into these hypothetical trades to make things work, with no thought for whether/why they would do such a deal. Pistons wouldn't give up Ivey unless it was a ludicrous package..... Drummond and a couple of picks is laughable!

I enjoy your channel keep it up baby🙌

Nowadays 90% of GM are idiots. Easy job on earth, they just max out whoever is at least somewhat famous, then offer minimal to whoever that’s not famous, barely anything in between. That led to so many overpaid players, which killed cap space for solid supporting players. IMO, only a few players should qualify the max.

i look forward to these every week

Has any of your pick trades come true love your channel but curious if any had happened

Best NBA content on youtube (and way better than anything on TV).

3:48 - I think the Knicks are more likely to wait for Donovan Mitchell than pickup Zach.

Hi AM Hoops!

I don’t get why the bulls don’t get a new coach instead of trading everybody away. They are a good fun team that needs some direction. Billy Donovan lost the locker room a long time ago, zach in particular. Maybe this is all for leverage to get a new coach.

yo casey im not a bot cool if i get a reply? Ur hard work and dedication are paying of tho. loved this vid. can i expect a cavs vid anytime in the near future? not so happy so far this season.

6:16 ooohhh Casey, the way you said Bald Mamba's name, man :)

I love your videos!

We have The Flight Mike put all the players in front of a Lakers background, and we have you put a Warriors Jersey on em. You all are hilarious and the the fact that you guys are friends makes it funnier.

Best days of the week: When A.M. hoops makes a video!

Warriors are definitely not getting rid of Jonathan Kuminga , it’s definitely not going to happen , here we go .. why now it’s actually quite shocking that Chicago would pull the plug on Zach LaVine

Before you even mentioned it I figured heat would be a nice fit for him, no one wants to see him end up on the lakers. Him and Embiid would also be interesting on 76ers

IMO Zach LaVigne would be perfect for the Brooklyn Nets, as long as they’re not trading away Cam Thomas for him.

I dont think you even watch basketball!!! Pistons LOVE Jaden Ivey hes not going anywhere. Mom was a shock, Grandpa a great Lion and his dad from Detroit. He's been electric off the bench, about a point a minute. Got sick and missed some games. He just needs to play better defense. Ausar Thompson has been amazing and new coach values that.

6:17 thanks, im crying now

AM hoops back again with the trades that never happens. I've never heard this man make a trade prediction that actually happened 😂😂. Not even close to his propositions

I love ur vids

Keep up the vids

I mean Zach Lavine plus one of the big 3 or 4 pf/c in the league would be fire. He would work well with Embiid I think

That is a wild thumbnail dude

Do u play underdog every night with YOUR money or THEIR money... You're a great channel and deserve sponsors but I hate internet gambling... Straight Theives

Woulda been nice to see him on the wolves thriving.

can we get a pacers video here soon am hoops? we are off to a great start minus the defense and tyrese is looking like a mvp caliber player rn!

Pacers! Buddy, Bruce, Walker and 3 1st's ('24 Pacers, '24 OKC, '26 Pacers) for Lavine and Caruso. Idk if salaries work but i think they do.

as a bulls fan, I hate A.M. Hoops sooo much for stating our draft miscues over these years...stating straight facts. keep up the good work!

arent the pacers postured to make the trade and even top 5 in odds to land him rn?

I seem to recall everyone saying this was just a temporary 'solution' in Chicago to get some buzz when he was first traded to them, so he was never going to be part of their long term plan; probably why both sides are shrugging and ready to move on.

Zach Levine to the warriors is insane ngl lol.

"any trade rumors" Heat is in the mix. Tyler Herro: Ah sh*t here we go again

Seems like a lot to give up for a good offensive player that’s not a willing defender that is going to take up one of your max slots. Multiple knee surgeries makes me nervous as well.

Lakers would give up any injuries assurances. Lavine and AD would be injury prone and unlikely to both stay healthy through playoffs

As a Jazz fan I don't really want Lavine. But I think a trade between those 2 teams would make sense. Jazz have Sexton, THT, Dunn, and Clarkson that we could get rid of since Keyonte George is low key our best guard already. The bulls really need a good point guard and Clarkson could replace Lavine in the starting lineup

Raptors do seem like a great fit. They are currently treading water. Lavine's scoring is sorely needed...and he can focus on that instead of playmaking, alongside schroder and barnes. On the other end, I can see siakam fitting well with vucevic. And they will undoubtedly get some young talent as well

Denver needs to get in on this. 👀 Alex Caruso to replace what Bruce Brown did for them last year. A straight up trade of Zeke Nnaji for AC or as a three team deal, both contracts are almost exactly identical and this would almost all but put to rest any Apprehension of Denver not going back to back. Type of move to keep Denver on everyones radar come playoff time.

available in PH?

Isn't JLaw in LA too? Doesn't he work out with him in the off season?

I'm still rooting for that Clint Capela to the Clippers trade that you were talking about lol. They need something lol.

Hell yea golden state let's get him

Can you make that video about caruso?

Reaves is not an ascending young star.... He is a good role player that can score, nothing more.

THX for not including Orlando in the mystery teams!

Lavine to KNICKS HERE WE GO!!

That’s not Andre Drummond at 6:58 😅

that lakers deal is a very good trade

I thought the Sixers didnt need more scoring with Embiid and Maxey doing that part?

thanks for putting a bar below the ad so we know where to skip

As a lakers fan, we’ll keep AR15 and picks. Thanks!

Talk about the future mvp De'Aaron fox

Don't see Warriors trade. They will tank with the dinasty. That sixers trade is pretty interesting. You ignored a possible OKC trade with Giddey.

How many rumored trades actually happen

I don’t think the lakers move Rui we need him, but we can definitely find other pieces in our roster to move around.

Zach LaVine best fit in Philadelphia, Heat, Knicks, Memphis, Pacers, Nets or Charlotte 🤔🤔🤔

Mavs are more interested with Drummond and Caruso than Zach. Offense is not a problem in Dallas.

Best trade for Zach. Bulls. Give: Zach lavine. For. Lakers Give:D angelo russel, Give:Austin reaves, And pick, This a W for me and Lakers fans they need get Zach quick

As a Bulls fan, the first person I want gone is Billy Donovan.

How would the Raptors get him exactly? What's your trade scenario?

7:50 except for brandin podziemski last night

The dubs aren't gonna do that that's freaking stupid

As a warriors fan Klay would be fine but not Wiggins if a trade is gonna happen I'm not expecting like the warriors would get another star that's not just gonna happen warriors are over the tax so for me the best trade the warriors could pull off is BULLS GET: ANDREW WIGGINS, MOSES MOODY, FUTURE PROTECTED FIRST ROUND PICK WARRIORS GET: ALEX CARUSO, PATRICK WILLIAMS, ANDRE DRUMMOND, UNPROTECTED 2ND ROUND PICK I think this makes sense for both teams Chicago would have a new look and also they will get a young 3&,D type of player in Moses moody and mind you guys both Patrick Williams and Andre Drummond are on expiring contract so trading them and getting a return is win win for Chicago instead of just losing them for nothing during free agency For the warriors side this trade also makes sense they are going to get more depth and they will have flexibility financial wise.

I think is way more sad to end a run with your team demanding a trade, feels unilateral

im a Bulls and seriously? Zach is talented and a great scorer but cmon now in his 7 years with the Bulls he hadnt won more than 3 games in a row, made 1 playoff apperance, and still got a max contract. this notion that "trading Zach Lavine signals a rebuild for the Bulls" is nonsense the record would be the same with or without him on the team. ill go as far as to say the Bulls will improve once they trade away Zach (The Ewing Theory).

Of course the Lakers and the Knicks are in the discussion to overpay for a score-only type player.

Love the Warriors, love Klay, and a year ago I would have slapped you at the suggestion of trading Klay. However, now, different times & Warriors have to make this trade!!!! Klay & Wiggins just don’t look right & aren’t playing well & haven’t been for a while now. Podz deserves to start over both of them. Moody deserves to start over both of them. Not happy with JK either. Would not give up on him yet but for this trade I would. The big problem with JK is he often looks confused & lacks confidence & aggression. It is a mental, confidence, basketball IQ problem. Make this trade & new lineups … 1. Curry 2. Green 3. LaVine 4. Podz 5. Looney 2nd Five …. 1. CP3 2. Moody 3. Wiggins 4. Saric 5. TJD / GPII Reserves: usman, Lester, etc I’d modify the trade slightly if able …. - LaVine + Caruso FOR - Klay T. + Kuminga + Corey Joseph + the picks you mentioned in the video Believe the salaries line up or are close enough

Bruuuh...Bringing up Lavine's win-loss record without even addressing the trash teams he was on, is nasty work 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ Also I'd hate to lose him, but NYC might be the place Zach needs to go to become the player us Bulls fans knows he can be. Thibs WILL NOT tolerate defensive lapses, which is Lavine's biggest flaw besides poor decision making. Another thing Thibs doesnt tolerate. He would be the ultimate weapon if his athletic abilities translated to the defensive side of the ball

In recent years, I've estimated the Bulls to be on a similar level to several other East teams that wear red: Atlanta, Miami, and Toronto. Turns out it's easy to underestimate the Heat and overestimate the Bulls. I don't know enough about this game to predict how bad they've sucked, especially how they fade down the stretch, pretty much every season. 🤷‍♂️

Lavine to lakers

Did you forget what they traded for Rudy?? Exactly so don’t assume lavines trade value is set in stone

8:39 Are you calling them yella? 😮😅

I agree on dubs not having the guts to break up their big 3 but I think the other factor is Lavine won't be a good fit in the Warriors' system

CP3,Wiggins,Jefferson-Davis, and draft picks to Chicago for Lavine,White, Craig, and Drummond.

That trade would be horrible for the Lakers.

You say Dallas is known for outta the blue big trades. But OKC pulls off the crazier trades nobody ever sees coming.

It's interesting how fast the NBA changes. There was a time when it was a rare thing to see a 6'7 with athleticism, handles and a three point shot.

The Bulls fall apart the second that their facilitator and defensive anchor goes down. This team was never going to be good if their "stars" were actually being carried by Lonzo and Caruso. Lavine is an attractive team ender.

I must say that personally I think that all of these packages are a little too much for lavine. But I might be wrong

i think these are all good options for the bulls at this point. I blame the bulls front office and the risk they took on Lonzo.

No way in hell the Lakers swap AR-15, Rui & DLo for Zach "Mr. Inconsistent" LaVine. Reeves has been looking like last season version of, "I'm him," since coming off the bench. Rui is their secret weapon. The dude is breaking out. DLo doing better now too. Plus, they'll be expecting Vanderbilt and Gabe back by end of the month. By Christmas, the Lakers will be 1.5 games behind Denver for best record in the western conference.

Would love to see Zach play with the spurs.

so who has a better career? lavine or aaron gordon?

in case for warriors, JK and Moody is untouchable, but if Poedzimski can shine enough in this season, they may offer him with another pick.. but as Bob Myer said, this is people, and mostly i think steph wants to retire his jersey alongside his brother in arm..

Warriors fan here, Ive had it, trade Wiggins and Kuminga to the Bulls for Derozan and try to get the Bulls to throw in Drummond as well. Then at the deadline if our team is still not performing to expectations then do another trade we have assets to use to acquire help that we NEED and we continue to fail to get Curry his help!

what bout the pacers tho, Tyrese & Zach would be nasty

Dont worry as a bulls fan i know we not getting much for him, ive given up a while ago and just want this rebuild to get started

Correction! Klay is a good defender he’s no longer an elite defender. We don’t need Lavine we need derozan for Wiggins straight up

No way Pedro that Lakers would gave all those players for Lavine and same is for Warriors. Though Lakers should try to get Harris from 76ers as he is the player they really need now and technically inexpensive.

Casey, as a life long Bull's fan. You don't have to remind me how terrible the Bulls have been. The idea of tanking a year AFTER Wemby is insanity. But I also know ownership ONLY cares about making money. I don't think we'll have a full rebuild. Gotta add depth for a "push for playoffs". It's sad, but it's classic Bulls.
