It's wild that Lavine will make twice as much as Van Vleet next year. Prime Zach was so fun, but he's also a good example of how not everyone with similar counting stats should be equally valued.
A super team of stars well past prime their prime has never worked before, but maybe it will for them
Ultimately I think it's a better move prioritizing him over Powell. They can find cheap shooters in free agency
Makes me think they've conceded that they won't be able to fill out the roster as much as they'd like so they gave him his money this year and then will be looking forward to next offseason.
