If you made a Mount Rushmore of players named in trade rumors over the last five seasons, Zach LaVine would probably be on it and plenty of them involved the Detroit Pistons.
LaVine’s entire career with the Bulls was dominated by trade rumors and not much has changed since he was traded to the Sacramento Kings.
His career has also been dogged by the same criticisms, which are that he’s not a winning player, he’s a poor defender, and he can’t stay healthy. These were all the reasons I was glad the Pistons didn’t trade for him.
