Speculation around Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine's future continues, as he is not projected to be traded before the upcoming season. The team reportedly lacks interested parties willing to make a deal for the two-time All-Star.
LaVine, currently in the third year of a substantial five-year contract, must showcase his skills to attract trade interest as the deadline approaches. A recent article identified the Los Angeles Lakers as a potential landing spot, citing LaVine's talent but also the financial challenges surrounding a deal.
The Lakers, needing additional scoring support beside their star duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, view LaVine as a possible asset, especially after his strong 2022-23 performance averaging nearly 25 points per game.
