While Zach LaVine’s name has been bandied about for weeks as a potential trade candidate, it appears there isn’t anything close to a robust market for his services.
Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported that, to this point, “no Zach LaVine trade sweepstakes” is unfolding across the NBA.
LaVine has been out since Nov. 28 due to foot injury and is expected to miss a few more weeks. Prior to the injury, he was averaging 21 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
The Bulls are 13-17 and currently sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. While eventually adding LaVine back should provide a boost to the lineup, Chicago likely still falls short of being a true contender.
The NBA Trade Deadline is Feb. 8, which means that the Bulls will need to come to a firm decision on LaVine’s future with the franchise by that point.
