Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls
Nikola Vučević is in rare form this season and contending teams could benefit from a stretch-center shooting 40.6% from 3-point range.
If you’re a Chicago Bulls fan, the past few years haven’t been the easiest. Since 2017, the team has managed only one first-round playoff appearance. Despite years of rebuilding and trading for stars like Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, there hasn’t been much recent success to get fans excited.
Here’s a look at the six Bulls who have the most trade value and why their individual circumstances warrant trades.
A slew of high-profile wing players have been mentioned in NBA Trade Rumors. What happens if we throw them all in one big deal?
But the team has been "fun-bad," thanks to solid play from two-time All-Star small forward/shooting guard LaVine, two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, and guards Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Giddey. In the mediocre East, the Bulls are good enough to have at least a shot at the postseason.
While Jimmy Butler continues to flood headlines and stories as the top NBA trade target of the season, there are still plenty of other players across the league
Unfortunately for the Bulls, LaVine's contract is likely to discourage teams from trading for him. The new luxury tax penalties make it difficult to negotiate overpriced contracts
LaVine (personal) will be out for "the next few games", Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Former UCLA Bruins star and current Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has surfaced in a rather odd trade idea before the NBA trade deadline.
In this trade idea, one of the hottest names on the trading block lands with a top-three team in the Western Conference.
Nikola Vucevic had 20 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and the Chicago Bulls handed the Denver Nuggets their second straight loss with a 129-121 victory.
