Zach LaVine Articles - Page 6

Josh Giddey endured a difficult 2023-24 season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Not only was he marginalized in the team’s offense amid Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s continued ascent, the public’s perception of him also took a nosedive after he was alleged to have had improper relations with an underaged girl. But the 2024-25 campaign carries with it […]

The 2024-25 Chicago Bulls season is right around the corner, and Zach LaVine is looking forward to returning to the court for the team. LaVine missed the majority of last season because of injury trouble, and he has also been dealing with trade rumors for awhile now. A lot of Bulls fans have wanted to […]

Amidst a rebuild heading into the 2024-25 season, the Chicago Bulls got an encouraging update on injured All-Star Zach LaVine. After the Bulls traded DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings, many anticipated LaVine would be next despite coming off of a season-ending leg injury. But moving his $215 million contract during the offseason wasn’t easy. […]

What direction are the Chicago Bulls heading in as the 2024-25 NBA season approaches? This is a question many are paying attention to in the Eastern Conference. After trading the likes of Alex Caruso and DeMar DeRozan — by way of sign-and-trade — this summer, the Bulls appear to have taken a step back in […]

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine only played in 25 games last season after undergoing season-ending foot surgery in February. With the start of training camp and the regular season rapidly approaching, LaVine looks like he’s more-than trending in the right direction after this latest video of an open run dropped. LaVine looks completely healthy after […]

In case you haven’t heard, Zach LaVine has among the worst trade value of any player in the NBA, with Bobby Marks going so far as to suggest that the Chicago Bulls may have to include a first-round draft pick just to move on from the two-time All-Star in a trade. “Literally, there is no […]

Every NBA offseason is always filled with twists and turns. One week, it appears as if a certain player is going to be on the move. Then things change the very next week until an outcome is eventually reached. That is what has happened with Utah Jazz All-Star Lauri Markkanen, as a lot changed over […]

Add Lauri Markkanen to the increasingly long list of stars the Golden State Warriors failed to acquire via trade. The Finnisher will reportedly agree to re-negotiate and extend his contract with the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, making him ineligible to be traded for the entirety of 2024-25. Markkanen, like Paul George before him, won’t be […]

Some people in the Chicago Bulls organization have spoken out anonymously about Zach LaVine, saying that he’s never won, which may be related to his deflating trade value as of late. Former NBA player and current ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins had a few words to say about that anonymous source, and if they’re holding themselves […]

It is never easy to make a trade in the NBA. Between all the financial restrictions impacting trades and the new tax aprons that limit certain teams’ abilities to execute deals, we have seen fewer trades made over the last year. While it seems inevitable that the Chicago Bulls will look to move on from […]

Things aren’t going great right now for the Chicago Bulls and more specifically shooting guard Zach Lavine, who missed most of the 2023-24 season due to injury. Lavine has long been considered a trade candidate for a Bulls team that seems to have finally opted to undergo a rebuild, but the problem is that there […]

The Chicago Bulls appear to be done making moves in the 2024 NBA offseason. That includes trying to move on from Zach LaVine. Finding a team to take on the former All-Star has been a fruitless endeavor so far. After years of losing and amid an offseason that has seen the departure of key players […]

The Los Angeles Clippers and Chicago Bulls are two of the biggest losers of the 2024 NBA offseason. The Clippers lost Paul George in free agency to the Philadelphia 76ers for nothing. The Bulls managed to trade both Alex Caruso and DeMar DeRozan without recouping a single first-round pick in return. However, both teams can […]

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers have had an eventful but overall disappointing offseason so far after their first round playoff exit vs the Dallas Mavericks this past spring. The biggest move was not an acquisition but rather the departure of Leonard’s long time running mate Paul George to the Philadelphia 76ers, and although […]

The Chicago Bulls have finally bitten the bullet and pivoted towards a head-on youth movement. They traded away Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey earlier in the offseason, and they dealt DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade for two second-round picks — disappointing given how much they could have gotten had they traded […]

There was once a time when the Chicago Bulls were the class of the Eastern Conference. For a decade, in fact, no team in the East won more games than the Chicago Bulls. Led by a roster with a league MVP, multiple All-Defensive Team candidates, and an NBA Coach of the Year, the Bulls consistently […]

In a recent interview, Chicago Bulls Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, Artūras Karnišovas, offered some revealing insights into the team’s expectations for star player Zach LaVine amid ongoing trade rumors and the franchise’s broader strategic adjustments. As the Bulls navigate a critical offseason marked by significant roster changes, Karnišovas’s comments shed light on the […]

The Chicago Bulls and president Arturas Karnisovas have made some moves that signal the organization shifting to a long-term vision in the next season, but it seems they are still trying to move Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. It does not seem like there is much of a market when it comes to a trade […]

The Chicago Bulls have been pretty active this offseason, which is something that their fans aren’t very used to. The Bulls have made a couple of trades and they will not have Alex Caruso or DeMar DeRozan back next season. However, one player that hasn’t been traded yet is Zach LaVine. LaVine is the one […]

After two seasons of wandering aimlessly, the Chicago Bulls are pivoting towards a rebuild. They moved Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Josh Giddey, adding a young guard who averaged 17-8-6 in his sophomore season, and then this proved to be the final straw for DeMar DeRozan, who angled for an […]

The Chicago Bulls doubled down on their championship dreams in 2023-24 and decided not to sell at the trade deadline, a decision that backfired spectacularly as the team failed to contend. Now, Chicago’s front office is likely going to sell low on star guard Zach LaVine with little to no leverage. However, there could be […]

Some players were drafted too high in the 2014 NBA Draft, but even more so, there were some players from that class who were drafted way too low. Nikola Jokic comes to mind in that regard, as the player who is now arguably the best player in the NBA wasn’t drafted until the second round […]

The Chicago Bulls are officially rebuilding. After failing to win with their big three of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls continued their rebuild by sending DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade on Saturday night. It was an admission of failure by the front office and the latest move to […]

Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine has been in trade talks for the good portion of the last couple of years, but it seems as if the organization will likely move on from him this summer. However, his agent Rich Paul has a stern response for anybody thinking that LaVine has been unprofessional in any way […]

While much of the attention on the Chicago Bulls has been focused on the front office’s continued efforts to explore avenues in which they could offload two-time NBA All-Star Zach LaVine and his enormous contract, elsewhere, the Bulls have been making moves that signal the franchise is ready to get younger and cheaper with a rebuild […]

After spending years existing in the middle of the NBA’s pack, the Chicago Bulls finally seem to be coming to the realization that this current group, led by dynamic yet oft-injured shooting guard Zach LaVine, is not the one that will get Chicago back to top-tier relevance. Since acquiring LaVine from the Minnesota Timberwolves back […]

It has been a wild NBA offseason so far, but it can create louder noises if the Chicago Bulls find a way to let go of Zach LaVine. That will have to be via a trade, as LaVine is still under contract for at least the next two seasons, with a player option worth $48.96 […]

The Golden State Warriors are at a crucial juncture as they navigate a transformative offseason. With Klay Thompson’s potential departure looming, the Warriors are exploring significant trade options to maintain their status as championship contenders. Two notable names have emerged as possible targets: Brandon Ingram of the New Orleans Pelicans and Zach LaVine of the […]

The Chicago Bulls have been trying to trade Zach LaVine for a while now, but they haven’t been able to find any takers. LaVine was hoping to find a new home this past season, but his poor play and subsequent foot surgery destroyed any chances of that happening. As the Bulls continue to prioritize a […]

The Chicago Bulls appear ready to commit to a full youth movement. If the Alex Caruso-Josh Giddey swap isn’t enough proof, then the team’s latest commitment to forward Patrick Williams should help. According to the latest reports, Williams is expected to sign a five-year deal worth $90 million to return to the Bulls. That puts […]

The offseason is here, and there is no offseason tradition quite like predicting Los Angeles Lakers trades. Being the most prestigious team in the league, the Purple and Gold are always in win-now mode, and there are always rumors of the team making blockbuster trades in order to fit that philosophy. Los Angeles’ desire to […]

In a surprising move, the Chicago Bulls recently traded for Oklahoma City Thunder’s young guard Josh Giddey, leaving NBA fans and analysts alike speculating about the team’s future plans. This trade, which saw defensive stalwart Alex Caruso head to Oklahoma, raises several questions about the Bulls’ strategy and the roles of key players like Zach […]

The Sacramento Kings are coming off a solid 2023-24 season. The Kings finished with a 46-36 record and nearly made the playoffs for the second time in a row after a 16-year drought. A large part of Sacramento’s success is Sixth Man of the Year candidate Malik Monk, whom the team resigned in free agency. […]

The Chicago Bulls are considering a blockbuster trade that could reshape the landscape of the Eastern Conference. Rumors are swirling that the Bulls are ready to send their star shooting guard, Zach LaVine, to the Philadelphia 76ers. This sort of deal could alter the trajectory of both franchises. With the NBA offseason in full swing, […]

In a landscape where trades and free agency often dominate the NBA off-season, rumors involving high-profile players can quickly capture the imagination of fans and analysts alike. One such player currently at the center of trade speculation is Zach LaVine, the 29-year-old swingman for the Chicago Bulls. As LaVine enters the third year of his […]

Many have been asking for the Chicago Bulls to undergo a rebuild. Apparently, their front office is beginning to listen to those requests. The Bulls kicked off the 2024 NBA offseason with the first major trade of the summer by sending Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddey. They don’t appear to […]

The Chicago Bulls appear to be active this summer, as they should. Changes are in order after two consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs entirely. If moves are coming to Chicago in the next few weeks, it seems like they will begin with Zach LaVine. Chicago had trade talks with the Detroit Pistons involving the […]

Zach LaVine’s time with the Chicago Bulls is bound to come to an end soon. The team wants to keep this core intact but is also eager to avoid the luxury tax. LaVine may be the odd man out. This Bulls core is not doing anything special yet the front office is hellbent on keeping […]

The Sacramento Kings are actively exploring avenues to enhance their roster ahead of the upcoming NBA season. Recent reports suggest that the Kings have had trade discussions with the Chicago Bulls, focusing on acquiring Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso. This potential trade is part of the Kings’ broader strategy to strengthen their lineup, aiming for […]
