Bulls' asking price for Zach LaVine 'has dropped significantly'?
Do the Bulls see an off-season LaVine trade as something that HAS to happen? Or will they be content with him on the roster if a trade market for him doesn’t materialize? Also, if he’s on the team at the start of the season, do you think there’s any potential for distraction/unrest? It seems like everyone was professional last year and I’m wondering if that can last if he’s truly unhappy. — Steve P. KC Johnson: Content may be the wrong word, and I do get the sense both sides are motivated to make something work this offseason. 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. 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.

The Bulls’ asking price for Zach LaVine has dropped significantly, per @KCJHoop (nbcsportschicago.com/nba/chicago-bu…).
Both sides have increased desires on making a trade happen this offseason.
With LaVine’s market barely materializing, it appears Chicago might be willing to simply perform pic.twitter.com/JWlVwoPC69 – 6:19 PM

More on this storyline
KC Johnson: As I’ve said from the beginning regarding this situation: This is like a relationship that has run its course. And you’re right: Both sides have remained very professional to this point, and I expect that to continue. But the desire from both sides to make a change has grown. -via NBC Sports Chicago / June 1, 2024
Evan Sidery: The Lakers are unlikely to circle back on a potential trade for Zach LaVine, per @jovanbuha (m.youtube.com/watch?v=IYw324…). LaVine’s contract and injury history have made his trade market seemingly nonexistent for the Bulls. pic.twitter.com/I8fRnU0VGB -via Twitter @esidery / May 30, 2024
If not in free agency, the Sixers believe they can use their draft assets and available cap space to acquire a difference-maker via a trade. That has led to Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, and New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram being among trade interests. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / May 27, 2024
