Bulls Finding Limited Trade Market For Zach LaVine

Jun 28, 2023 2:15 PM

The Chicago Bulls have engaged with multiple teams on a potential Zach LaVine trade, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

The Bulls believe LaVine has a higher trade value than what the Washington Wizards recently received from the Phoenix Suns for Bradley Beal, which makes finding a willing trade partner difficult.

LaVine is entering Year 2 of a five-year, $215 million contract.

The New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks were previously interested in LaVine. The Knicks have been cautious and patient when presented with trade opportunities. The Mavericks, meanwhile, have moved on to Kyrie Irving.
