NBA rumors: Bulls facing major problem in Zach LaVine trade plans

The past two seasons haven't been too kind to the Chicago Bulls. After making the playoffs in 2022, the Bulls have decided to maintain a middling product on the court, holding on to their most established players despite having a few opportunities to sell and trade them for a few draft assets. The Bulls have promptly missed out on the playoffs on two consecutive seasons, and to make things worse, they now appear to be stuck with a depreciating trade asset in Zach LaVine. LaVine was one of the players that was most involved in trade rumors throughout the 2023-24 season, with the Los Angeles Lakers often being brought up as a potential destination for the Bulls highflyer.
