The Chicago Bulls have been actively seeking to trade their star player, Zach LaVine, in an effort to rebuild their roster. NBA insider Joe Cowley recently shared insights into the Bulls’ strategy, revealing that the team hopes to attach two second-round picks in potential trades to make LaVine’s contract more appealing to other teams.
“The hope in making the sign-and-trade for DeRozan is getting two second round picks back that can now be attached to the LaVine package. But still it’s a long shot and the market has been screaming for over a year that there is not a lot of interest in LaVine,” Cowley reported.
Despite LaVine’s scoring ability, his hefty contract has deterred potential suitors. The Bulls are now in a tough spot. They are trying to find a solution that will allow them to move forward with their rebuilding plans.
LaVine is currently under a five-year, $215 million contract that expires after the 2026–27 season. Nevertheless, he has not attracted much interest from other teams. Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report also noted the lack of market demand for LaVine.
Rich Paul Defends Zach LaVine Amid Trade Rumors
Amid ongoing trade rumors, Zach LaVine’s agent and CEO of Klutch Sports Group, Rich Paul, has publicly defended his client. Paul stated that LaVine has consistently shared professionalism, even in the middle of challenges and frustrations.
“I want to make this clean and clear: This whole idea that Zach has been anything but professional in this situation is false. This guy has played hurt. He has represented the franchise with class. A lot has taken place during his time with the Bulls and he’s taken the high road every time. Does every player get frustrated at times? Yes. But Zach has been the ultimate professional and deserves better,” Paul said.
