[Scotto] If the Chicago Bulls make Zach LaVine available before the trade deadline, rival executives are keeping an eye on several teams who could have interest in trading for him, including the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat.

another overpaid wannabe superstar?
Westbrook and one first rounder for Lavine and Caruso.
Tbh I’m not that interesting in Zach. His contract is massive and he has consistency issues
Hard pass
LaVine is overpaid but compared with Westbrick, he’s miles better as a player and fits better with Lebron and AD.
LaVine is in his prime who is an athletic and efficient scorer including above average from three point range on high volume. His only weakness is being below average on defense.
The truth is we probably won’t find anyone better in FA anyways, so why not trade for LaVine’s prime years he’s only 27. The trade would be even better if we somehow manage to get Caruso.
Lakers dont have nearly enough to get Lavine…
Knicks could beat us easily
I’m really not into the idea of 3 max contracts on a team, I’d rather see us move Russ for multiple players if we’re making a trade
Lavine is constantly injured. Y’all are gonna be demanding he get traded almost immediately.
With those bad knees I would hesitate but still trade for him.
What’s better than 2 injury prone stars? 3 😤
Lavine is the most appealing target I have seen all season.
ah the trade deadline, every deal will include the Lakers
I would pass on Lavine. The team needs something reliable considering Westbrook is so inconsistent. Lavine is not a reliable player, he’s injury prone and has a big contract as well. He’s not what the Lakers should be looking for.
Russ 2 first, we give back chicago their 2nd this year and another second for Lavine and AC, and watch us run to the finals.
Starters: Dennis/Lavine/Troy/LBJ/AD
Bench: AC/Lonnie/Reaves/Wenyen/TB
shit sign me the fuck up right now
It doesn’t matter if they want him. They lakers asset is very limited. I think Lavine will get a Mitchell type haul.
Westbrick and nunn for Lavine cruso and pat Williams
I’ve kinda assumed Lavine is the guy the FO is waiting for. I think they’re thinking it’s a matter of time until Chicago makes him available so they wanna keep their assets for him.
Only way I want Lavine if we can get Caruso back
Lavine to the mavs and AC to GSW Just watch
He’s not getting traded this is another Klutch leak
Because that’s what the Lakers need, another injury prone max player.
Every team on this list could beat the Lakers offer.
Question everyone should be asking is, are the Bulls tanking or trying to win this season? I can see a real case for them to look at replacing Lavine with Westbrook actually helping the team compete. A Westbrook and Caruso back court would be so fun. Even if Lonzo comes back, he works with Westbrook.The Bulls have to really be looking at the Lakers with some interest.
Chicago said they arenMt interested
This isn’t happening and it’s not an accurate report. Lakers don’t have interest in Zach.
