The Milwaukee Bucks were Zach LaVine's primary suitor at the trade deadline. Combing the market for available stars, they eyed the Kings guard as an efficient shotmaker and volume scorer. The deal never got done, however, and Bucks fans should be thankful it didn't.
LaVine's offensive talent comes with notable drawbacks: poor defense, injuries, and a bloated salary. His teams tend not to make the playoffs. All things considered, Bleacher Report named him the third-most overrated player in the league. As the Kings know from experience, trading for LaVine would have been a move destined for mockery.
