I'd rather extend DeRozan at 50 million a year when he's 40 years old than take back Poole.

Poole for Zach is a yes IMO. Especially if WAS can sweeten the deal on draft night (2nds, decent salary player).
Demar for Poole? No thanks.
Nevertheless, Poole's had a historic regression. Pretty risky contract, but he's also 24yo and a skilled shooter. Can't say what really led to his terrible decline in offensive production, but he probably needs serious correction (ego, shooting selection, defense).
I was up for a Poole/GSW trade last off-season (assuming some combo of Kuminga/Pod/Moody came back). Let's be honest: Zach's value is about 4x worse now.

No, Poole for anyone is a no unless he comes with an unprotected first and even then it's borderline.
He's straight up garbage and how is a career 33 percent 3 point shooter a skilled shooter? He's inefficient and s***.

People complained about Zach's bball IQ, Poole has the IQ of an empty pool. Dude is javale McGee the guard. He's awful.
I'd rather have injured Zach on the roster than healthy Poole. I'd rather have 3 second round picks than Poole.

Nah, I'd much rather have a healthy guy capable of making a few 3Ps a night as opposed to a $45M on the injury reserve.
Can we be rationale at times? This is like saying you'd rather have 2020 John Wall over Westbrook.
Zach looks like a colossal mess right now. This is his 4th year in a row with some kind of post-deadline injury issue. https://www.foxsports.com/nba/zach-lavine-player-injuries
I wouldn't mind if it was November/off-season stuff, but this guy is entering his 11th season with 77 career playoff points. For the record, Jordan Poole has 507. I realize he hasn't had Lebron or Curry, but he's been in the Eastern conference, and he's had help. He's been the one going down (knee issues after Vuc trade, knee issues heading into the Bucks series, needed knee rest last season into the deadline and down the playoff stretch (had on and off games).. And now this.
Might've been 6th man, but Jordan Poole helped win a championship 2 years ago. At this point, I'd seriously consider trashing the coming 14th pick for dumping Zach Lavine. TBF we have an off-season to evaluate Zach's health, but AFAIC he's pretty damaged goods. I don't think Washington benefitted from holding onto an injury prone Beal for so long, and AK's gonna regret waiting for the right deal for Zach.

Lavine for Simmons
This would be great for both teams. For Nets I think Lavine would be helpful for Bridges/Johnson/Claxton. For the Bulls even if Simmons is not at his best Simmons/Ball would both be expiring thus giving us room and options. Simmons if he plays and is overall healthy gives us size speed passing rebounding defense and would be very helpful for Ayo/White.
Vuc/Caruso for Ayton
I like this trade Ayton at the very least is a better rebounder, defender, finishing pick and rolls, and as a lob threat. For you can rebuild his confidence and get him focused like his Suns final runs the team can really go somewhere.
