Saw this Jazz-Bulls trade idea on an NBA fan site. Who says no?

Utah Jazz Receive: G Zach LaVine (2yr-19.5min/yr) Chicago Bulls Receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic (3yr-17.85mil/yr), UTA 2022 1st Round Pick, UTA 2026 1st Round Pick

From the article: "You can never have too much talent on your roster in the NBA and regardless of position, acquiring Zach LaVine would do wonders for this Jazz team. With the size they have in their frontcourt with Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors, Utah can afford to go small at times, which is exactly what they would have to do when acquiring LaVine.

Their starting lineup would likely be Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Zach LaVine, Royce O’Neal, and Rudy Gobert with Jordan Clarkson, Joe Ingles, and Derrick Favors coming off the bench. Not only is this a fantastic roster with the addition of LaVine, but it is a sneaky team that could contend for a Western Conference Championship.

Bringing in Zach LaVine in the trade outlined above makes a lot of sense for the Jazz because LaVine is an upgrade from Bogdanovic in terms of all-around production and he is also a younger player still. LaVine is only 25-years old and will be turning 26 in March, meaning the Jazz could look to build with him and Mitchell for many years to come. "

 

I like the idea of having Levine this year and next instead of Bogdanovic for an additional 2yrs after this season at his age. Levine is only 25. If Conley is gone next season Donovan could slide into the PG spot while Levine takes the SG spot. He and Donovan would make an awesome young back court. We'd be small but have the option to start Favors against bigger teams if needed. The 2 1st rounders is pricey though.
