Despite active efforts by the Chicago Bulls, trading Zach LaVine this season is considered unlikely due to his contract and the current market conditions.
The Chicago Bulls are actively trying to trade Zach LaVine, but a source tells Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times that it's more of a fantasy than a real possibility this season. A significant injury to another team or a major change in the current market would be needed for a trade involving LaVine to happen. LaVine signed a five-year, $217.5 million contract with the Bulls during his free agency in 2022. He has three seasons left on the deal worth almost $140 million.
LaVine has a player option for the 2026-27 season worth $49 million, which he is almost certain to exercise given his current value in the league. Trading LaVine was already difficult under the previous collective bargaining agreement, but the new one makes it nearly impossible with the number of years remaining on his contract. This season, LaVine is averaging 21.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 33.4 minutes over 23 games for the Bulls
