At some point the Chicago Bulls will need to make a decision about what the future holds. And one of the biggest inflection points in that calculus will be what to do with All-Star guard Zach LaVine.
When LaVine joined the Bulls in 2017, he helped launch a new era for the club. Alongside the likes of Lonzo Ball, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls were slated to compete right alongside the best clubs in the East. Injuries, an awkward fit, and limited defense have created a hard cap on what Chicago has been able to accomplish as presently constructed, however, and there is reasonable speculation that change is imminent. A LaVine trade could be the biggest path to reorient the franchise in a meaningful way.
