According to recent reports by Chicago Bulls insider K.C. Johnson, Zach LaVine’s price has dropped “a large amount,” and Chicago may now look to offload his salary. LaVine has three years and $138 million remaining on his deal.
“I don’t think the Bulls will take an awful deal if little materializes, but I do get the sense they’re open to more possibilities than before,” Johnson postulated. “More to the point: I’ve reported before what their asking price was All-Star level talent, first-round picks, or both, and my sense is that it has dropped significantly,” Johnson said.
Chicago Bulls Tried to Trade LaVine: Reports
Around the February 8 trade deadline, the Bulls reportedly tried to trade LaVine but could not find a willing partner. As the offseason approaches, Chicago may attempt to part ways with their 29-year-old shooting guard if they can find a team willing to negotiate.
LaVine has been the subject of trade speculation for most of the 2023-24 season, but no deal was made, partly because of LaVine’s high price tag. With a $48.97 million player option for the 2026-2027 season, the Bulls’ forward is owed $89 million over the next two seasons. He grappled with a foot injury this season and played only 25 matches.
Recently, LaVine made headlines after he snubbed LeBron James’ wife, Savannah, during an event.
