Bulls Had 'Giant' Asking Price For Zach LaVine In Trade Talks With Knicks

Jul 20, 2023 12:18 PM

The Chicago Bulls had a "giant" asking price when the New York Knicks reached out with interest in trading for Zach LaVine, a source tells Fred Katz of The Athletic.

The Knicks and Bulls never got close on a trade of LaVine.

In June, there were reports that the Bulls were evaluating LaVine's trade value.

The Knicks have long been considered the next team to make a major draft pick heavy trade for an All-Star caliber player. Last offseason, the Knicks pursued a trade for Donovan Mitchell before he was dealt by the Utah Jazz to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

LaVine has four years remaining on his five-year, $215 million contract signed with the Bulls in 2022.

Bulls Had Zach LaVine Trade Talks With Blazers, Sixers

Jul 7, 2023 1:17 PM

Zach LaVine emerged in preliminary trade conversations between the Chicago Bulls and both the Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers, sources tell KC Johnson of NBC Sports. 

LaVine re-signed with the Bulls last offseason on a five-year, $215 million maximum contract. LaVine represents Chicago's best trade asset and a way of shaking up their roster.

Neither of those conversations gained traction, but it underscores how LaVine is widely considered unlikely to remain with the Bulls for the duration of his contract.

Bulls Apply For $10.2M Disabled Player Exception For Lonzo Ball

Jul 2, 2023 9:44 PM

The Chicago Bulls have applied for a disabled player exception for Lonzo Ball.

If granted by the NBA the exception would be worth about half of Ball's salary (around $10.2 million) and it allows a team to replace a player who is out for the season.

The Bulls do not expect Ball to play during the 23-24 season.

The Bulls are currently $9 million below the luxury tax.
