5) Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors are reportedly more interested in a trade for LaVine at the deadline than any other star. Mike Dunleavy Jr. is desperately trying to find a co-star for Stephen Curry, and if the price is right, the Bulls star could be their primary target.
Top 5 Landing Spots for Zach LaVine Ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline
Zach LaVine has been constantly mentioned in rumors over the last few years. The Chicago Bulls star seems interested in a fresh start as his future in the Windy City seems up in the air. And with reports of the Bulls headed towards a complete rebuild, they could become sellers at the NBA trade deadline. Here are five landing spots for LaVine as the February 6 deadline looms.
1) Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks have been one team reportedly interested in a trade for Zach LaVine ahead of the deadline. Milwaukee is looking to bolster its roster as they hope to contend in the Eastern Conference this year, and with the salaries to make a deal work, the Bulls star could be an underrated move.
2) Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic have been looking for another star to pair alongside their young duo. Looking to make the leap and put together a roster set to contend, the Magic could become aggressive at the deadline and move to bring Zach LaVine down to the Sunshine State.
3) New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans made a big move in the offseason, bringing in guard Dejounte Murray. Before that, they made a deal to land CJ McCollum. Unfortunately, neither move has resulted in a winning recipe, leading to reports that NOLA will make a big move ahead of the deadline. Zach LaVine could be a target if the Pelicans move on from either of their backcourt options.
4) Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns made the move to land Bradley Beal last offseason. Following the blockbuster trade, the Suns thought they put together a big three that could win an NBA championship. However, since adding Beal, Phoenix has struggled to find any winning recipe. A move for Zach LaVine will likely require Beal to waive his no-trade clause, which he has reportedly declared he would not waive for any deal landing him in Chicago. However, if the Suns could find a way to expand the deal, LaVine in Phoenix could be a realistic possibility, especially if they miss out on Jimmy Butler.
5) Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors are reportedly more interested in a trade for LaVine at the deadline than any other star. Mike Dunleavy Jr. is desperately trying to find a co-star for Stephen Curry, and if the price is right, the Bulls star could be their primary target.
