This season, there has been a lot of trade talk surrounding Zach LaVine. The Chicago Bulls’ hardships have made it more likely that they will ultimately decide to rebuild their team and start over with a new roster. In the event that the Bulls choose to move forward with a teardown, LaVine is considered as their top trade target.
Despite missing the previous four games due to an injury, LaVine remains dedicated to supporting the Bulls in their endeavors. The seasoned wing told reporters on Thursday that he will remain dedicated to the team for the duration of his tenure.
“Am I still a part of this team and very committed? Yeah,” LaVine said. “I got a Bulls jersey on. I committed here. And for as long as I’ll be here, I’ll still support and love Chicago and go out there and play my heart out for those guys. That’s never going to change.”
Chicago is stuck. Their player base is getting older. It was constructed around Lonzo Ball’s playwriting abilities. Dismantling things makes sense. The front office may have to concede, though, that LaVine’s contract with production may result in offers that aren’t as high as they would like. Either a large amount of salary filler, or another highly paid player who is having difficulty in their current environment, will be required.
LaVine’s tenure with the Bulls is about to expire, regardless of what transpires before the trade deadline. The only thing not clear is how soon we will witness that breakup.
