Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine knows he is involved in trade rumors.
The Chicago Bulls sent DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings this offseason in a sign-and-trade deal. Also sending Alex Caruso the OKC Thunder in exchange for Josh Giddey, the Bulls made it clear they were finally transitioning into a rebuild.
Unable to find a trade partner to take back Zach LaVine and the remaining three years on his five-year, $215M contract, the Bulls entered this season hopeful he could rebuild some trade value. While LaVine has already missed three of Chicago’s 10 games, he has played very well in his seven appearances. Averaging 22.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists, LaVine has shot 50.5 percent from the field, and 43.4 percent from three .
“No, it’s not hard,” LaVine said. “It’s understanding. If you’re not understanding what you’re coming into then it’s hard. I have the right mindset right now of understanding what the game needs from me today … just try and do the right thing.” This is a professional approach from LaVine that could land him on a contender if he maintains this level of play.Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
