Zach LaVine has made his change in representation official, announcing his move to sign with Klutch Sports. Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James–the premier client of Klutch and Rich Paul–couldn't be any happier with the news and immediately welcomed the Chicago Bulls guard to the family.

Earlier on Tuesday, Lavine also took to Twitter to share his excitement in joining Klutch Sports, noting that embracing change is necessary as he strengthens his foundation and works on his longevity. For what it's worth, the Bulls guard is eligible for extension with the Windy City team, and he is expecting to get a significant pay raise from his current $19.5 million salary.

As we reported earlier, the Bulls could maintain their flexibility if they extend Zach LaVine this offseason and offer him the max contract they can give worth $105 million over four years. However, the one-time All-Star has the option to play out the season and be eligible for a five-year contract worth up to $235 million.

It remains to be seen what LaVine and the Bulls will do in their extension negotiations. However, with Klutch Sports now handling LaVine, it is safe to assume they will do their best to get the most money for the high-flying guard. After all, it is Rich Paul and Klutch who also landed that four-year, $85 million deal for Lonzo Ball with Chicago.

As for LeBron James, he's clearly ecstatic to see more and more players put their trust on his good friend.
