The Chicago Bulls began their rebuild this summer by moving DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso. However, to fully commit, they may need to offload more key players, with Zach LaVine being the prime candidate. LaVine, a two-time All-Star, is set to earn $138 million over the next three seasons, but his injury history has lowered his trade value. Despite this, his scoring prowess means the Bulls could still find a trade partner.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been floated as a potential landing spot, as they seek to strengthen their roster for a title run. Additionally, Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus suggests Nikola Vucevic as another Bulls player who could interest the Lakers. Vucevic has two years left on a three-year, $60 million deal, making him a more affordable option if the Bulls aim to reset their roster completely.
