Zach LaVine ‘Obviously’ Wants Lakers Trade, But Key Issue Looms for Bulls, per Report

If it feels like the Zach LaVine-to-Lakers trade rumors will never die, there may be a reason for that. Indeed, the latest report on LaVine only will intensify the rumblings of a potential deal that would create the NBA’s next big three.

The reported interest from LaVine’s side comes on the heels of Cowley’s mentioning that the Raptors are the one team interested in a potential deal for the 28-year-old.

But here’s where a complication may lie for Chicago in its potential pursuit of a deal. Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas is having close to no luck finding any “real market interest” for LaVine, according to Cowley.
