The Chicago Bulls have revealed six teams that are interested in trading for Zach LaVine, and the bids are varied. The Detroit Pistons are offering cap space to absorb LaVine’s deal, along with a young role player and a few second-round picks. The Atlanta Hawks are willing to part with De’Andre Hunter’s contract, but it’s not a highly coveted asset.
The Philadelphia 76ers are offering a low first-round pick or a second-round pick or two, but their bid is contingent on the Bulls taking on some of their unwanted contracts. The Los Angeles Lakers are putting together a more substantial package, including D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, and Gabe Vincent, but it’s unclear if the Bulls are interested in taking on that much salary.
The Phoenix Suns are proposing a swap of bad contracts, offering Bradley Beal for LaVine, but it’s unclear if the Bulls want to take on Beal’s hefty deal. Finally, the Sacramento Kings are offering a trio of rotation players, including Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter, and Trey Lyles, but it’s unclear if the Bulls value those players highly enough to make a deal.
Overall, the Bulls have a range of options to consider, from cap space and young players to established veterans and draft picks. It remains to be seen which bid they will accept, or if they will choose to hold onto LaVine and try to re-sign him in free agency.
