[Saba Sports News] Chicago Bulls supporters who are eager to see Zach LaVine in action might have a bit more time.
This week, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic shared insights on when the Chicago Bulls might trade their star guard LaVine. According to Mayberry, it’s unlikely that the Bulls will trade LaVine before mid-December, which is when newly signed players become trade-eligible. He suggests that a LaVine trade is more probable around the Feb. 9 trade deadline.
The relationship between LaVine and the Bulls is deteriorating. With the team’s poor start (5-10) this season, LaVine’s frustration is becoming more visible. Recently, he made news for a tense interaction with a Bulls PR staff member after a game.
Signs are pointing to the Bulls preparing to trade LaVine, who, at 28, is in his career’s prime and could be highly valuable in a trade as a top-performing shooting guard. Despite interest from major teams, the Bulls appear to be patient, aiming to maximize their benefits from the trade.
