The Chicago Bulls are aggressively exploring trade opportunities to offload Zach LaVine, inserting themselves into every potential deal across the league. Despite LaVine’s impressive resume as a two-time NBA All-Star and an efficient scorer, the Bulls seem determined to move him.

LaVine’s talent and off-ball play make the recent disrespect towards him surprising. However, his performance is likely to restore his trade value, making him a valuable commodity once again.

Chicago isn’t stopping with LaVine. They are also open to trading Nikola Vucevic for the right price, signaling broader changes within the team. The recent move of Alex Caruso is just the beginning of a series of long-awaited adjustments.

The Bulls currently have four contracts they are looking to move:

  • Nikola Vucevic: 2 years / $41.4 million
  • Jevon Carter: 2 years / $13.3 million
  • Lonzo Ball: 1 year / $21.4 million
  • Zach LaVine: 3 years / $138 million

This season appears to be a rebuilding phase for the Bulls, focusing on tanking and developing their young players. The team recognizes that significant changes are necessary to progress, starting with moving these key contracts. The Bulls’ front office is working hard to set the stage for a brighter future.
