While the trade rumors for Zach Lavine is there, he's going to undergo a surgery this coming week and he'll miss tons of games.
The recovery period could be for max of 6 months or possible to be more than that. If I'm the owner of the team, I'd definitely just trade him somewhere else and will take someone who's better than him. But will there be a team that's willing to take him now with that condition?
Bulls won't get anywhere close to what they are looking to get from him. With him being hurt who is going to trade a better player for someone who might end up being shut down for the rest of the season.
They're trying to dispose what they want to dump and that's true that they won't get anywhere close to the trade that they want.
The report says 6 or so weeks but you never know with these types of things how his body will respond. His value went down significantly with that injury.
I agree with that.
It's just an estimation and who knows if the injury won't heal at that accurate timeframe that the doctors have given him. And it's certainly possible that it can go longer.
