#4: Detroit Pistons trade Isaiah Stewart to the Chicago Bulls for Zach LaVine and the 11th pick 

The Bulls are desperate to get off LaVine’s contract but have not been able to create much of a market for him. 

I’m not a huge fan of LaVine, who has never been a winning player and has been hurt a lot, so if the Pistons are going to eat the three years of his contract that no one wants, they need an asset to do it. 

I wouldn’t take on LaVine unless the 11th pick were attached and I’m also not sure about sending them Stewart, though the Pistons are reportedly evaluating the market for him. 

Could Detroit send them Sasser instead? I wouldn’t touch LaVine’s contract unless there were a good asset attached and definitely wouldn’t send the Bulls one to get him.
