Zach Lavine is currently a free agent, and many teams were interested in him, but it seems like he will be staying with the Chicago Bulls.
Zach Lavine is one of the biggest names in this year’s free agency. Many teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, and Portland Trail Blazers were interested in getting him on board.
However, it seems like he’ll be staying in Chicago. Lavine has been the face of the Bulls franchise for many years, and the team finally surrounded him with good pieces last season. As a result, he is likely to stay in the Windy City.
He is expected to sign a 5-year max deal with the Chicago Bulls, and it will be fair to say that he certainly deserves it. He has been an All-Star for two consecutive seasons, and he is only getting better, which is why Chicago wants to keep him.
According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, “LaVine’s free agency has generated plenty of conversation among NBA personnel over the past few weeks. But despite rumblings that the Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, and Los Angeles Lakers will make plays for LaVine, the coveted swingman is likely to remain with his current team.”
The Chicago Bulls were able to make the playoffs in the recently concluded season. Even though they were knocked out in the 1st round, it was a good campaign for them.
The inclusion of Demar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball has proved to be very vital for the Bulls. The franchise has added star players to help Zach Lavine, and they looked like a good fit alongside each other.
Lonzo Ball got injured last season, and it derailed their season. When healthy, they are among the best teams in the NBA. If they can add some pieces more to fix up the flaws on their team, they can contend for the championship.
