The Chicago Bulls reportedly would prefer to trade Zach LaVine sooner, rather than later. Chicago wants enough time to reevaluate their team with the players they get back for LaVine before making any further moves.

Reportedly, Bulls vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas is set on moving LaVine, despite the fact that a market hasn't really developed yet. The relationship between LaVine and Chicago head coach Billy Donovan is professionally broken, making a trade the necessary path forward.

The NBA trade market unofficially opens on December 15, when many of the players who signed over the summer can be traded. On January 15, that market will further expand when several players who re-signed with their teams can be traded. That would give the Bulls a window to see how their post-LaVine team has come together before considering other trades.
