The reason why the US media believes that the Warriors trading Russell for the Bulls' LaVine is a win-win transaction is that the Warriors do not lack pitchers and need LaVine even more, while the Bulls need pitchers even more. In fact, for the current Warriors, they have just lost Durant and Sixth Man of the Year Iguodala. The most important thing now is to recruit a group of people who can replace Durant, especially when Thompson also retires from injury. After the season is canceled, the Warriors need to recruit people to help Curry.

If it only relies on the strength of Curry alone, then the team will definitely not be able to go far. Although Russell is relatively strong on the offensive end, he has a weakness in defense. Curry of the Warriors is originally a relatively weak defensive player. Opponents often focus on Curry's short stature and weak defensive ability. If Russell is in the Warriors, it will make the Warriors' defensive capabilities even weaker.

If a team's defensive ability is not good, no matter how fierce the offense is, it will not be able to win the game. Therefore, Russell is not actually the best candidate for what the Warriors need, but compared to Russell, LaVine of the Bulls has much stronger defensive ability and explosive power. If you have paid attention to LaVine's performance in the Slam Dunk Contest, You know, he's a great slam dunker.

Both his breakthrough ability and jumping ability are quite outstanding. The excellent jumping ability can control the Warriors' rebounding very well. In fact, anyone who often plays basketball knows a saying, that It means that those who get rebounds win the world. This also shows that being able to protect rebounds is very important, and LaVine's jumping ability is the key to protecting rebounds.

The Warriors no longer have the highly dominant Durant, so if LaVine can be added, it can make up for the losses caused to the Warriors by Durant's departure. Moreover, LaVine's offensive ability is not weak at all. Whether it is a dunk or a breakthrough, it will put a certain amount of pressure on the opponent and enhance the team's momentum. Therefore, LaVine may be more suitable for the Warriors.
