Jazz, 76ers not interested in Zach LaVine
The 29-year-old swingman Zach LaVine is about to enter Year 3 of a five-year, $215 million contract and was limited to 25 games in 2023-24 before season-ending foot surgery. League sources say Philadelphia continues to have little interest in LaVine and I have likewise been advised to dismiss Utah’s reported interest. The Bulls, remember, had trouble generating a market for LaVine when they could have attached Caruso to trade constructions. That option, obviously, no longer exists.Source: Marc Stein @ marcstein.substack.com

76ers are reportedly out on Paul George and Zach LaVine, so who exactly is their primary offseason target? cbssports.com/nba/news/76ers… – 4:30 PM

I imagine there’s a pretty big debate happening in the Kings front office right now.
You may never be able to get a player of Zach LaVine’s quality for as low a price again. But LaVine’s contract is brutal and caps you out.

The Kings currently appear the most likely team to potentially land Zach LaVine, per @JakeLFischer (sports.yahoo.com/with-bulls-ros…).
Kevin Huerter, who Sacramento would include in a package, is receiving plenty of interest around the league as well.

Zach LaVine trade rumors: Will former All-Star be next Bulls guard to go? And what destinations make sense?

I really don’t get Chicago’s desire to re-sign DeMar DeRozan.
Even if they can move LaVine, and I’m dubious they can, I’m just confused as to why they think Josh Giddey would benefit from watching DeMar dribble? He needs to be surrounded with off-ball spacers. – 11:43 AM

Bulls still haven’t found traction on a Zach LaVine trade, according to @JakeLFischer, and that makes the Caruso trade even stranger. He was probably their best bet at getting off of that contract without attaching draft capital. pic.twitter.com/ucoLPsOD7l – 11:29 AM

The Bulls are in active trade talks with the Jazz and Sixers centered around Zach LaVine, per @KCJHoop (nbcsportschicago.com/nba/chicago-bu…).
After Chicago traded Alex Caruso, LaVine being shipped out appears imminent. pic.twitter.com/yUS75cWnGV – 7:44 PM

We’ll see what else Chicago does this summer. If they bring back DeRozan and don’t trade LaVine then they’ve found new ways to be depressing. If they abandon their delusions of grandeur and pivot towards a youth movement, getting Giddey could look great in a few years! – 7:03 PM

If the Kings were to trade for Zach LaVine before free agency begins, they’re probably very confident that Malik Monk is leaving.
A LaVine (on his own) trade should only be considered if/after Malik walks. – 6:04 PM
Evan Sidery @esidery
The Bulls are nowhere close to done on the trade market.
Chicago is actively trying to move Zach LaVine, but also appear willing to part with Nikola Vucevic for the right price.
Moving Alex Caruso was the first step in long-awaited changes coming for Chicago. pic.twitter.com/nW7fEvSCGf – 5:49 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Only Coby White and Zach LaVine (for now) remain from roster that Artūras Karnišovas inherited. He enacted significant change upon arrival
But Caruso trade is his first involving players changing teams since Lauri Markkanen deal on Aug. 28, 2021 – 5:38 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
My willingness for the Kings to take on Zach LaVine’s contract just went to OKC with Caruso – 5:21 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I like the idea of a rebuilding team taking a swing on Josh Giddey as a primary ball-handler I just don’t know if the Bulls see themselves as a rebuilding team treating Giddey as their primary ball-handler. He doesn’t really make sense with LaVine or DeRozan. Are they gone? – 5:18 PM
