Why Zach Lavine is a Better Trade Candidate Than Portrayed; Debunking Narrative Around Bulls Star
3. LaVine is not significantly overpaid as critics suggest
With a salary of $43 million, LaVine is the 17th highest-paid player in the league. While he's a top-50 player, he's not quite at that elite level. It's not as if Jordan Poole is intentionally hurting a team with his $34 million salary. LaVine is a solid player.
Every year, LaVine is overpaid by about $10–$15 million. Let's not act like he's John Wall nearing the end of his career, but that's important in the new collective bargaining agreement where every dollar matters. At the age of 29, he can still easily average more than 20 points per game, make incredible 3-pointers, and get to the rim whenever he wants.
