The NBA World has been buzzing since the Chicago Bulls put their superstar Zach LaVine in the trade market. Several teams are interested in acquiring the 2-time All-Star as he can be the missing piece for them to make a run for the Championship. LaVine has been the primary scorer for the Bulls for many years and he has done the same this season.

The 2-time Slam Dunk Champion is averaging 21.7 points and 4.8 rebounds this season. Veteran analyst Marc Stein threw another name in the mix for teams who could make an offer for Zach LaVine, knowing his history with the team.

Will Sacramento make an offer for Zach LaVine?

Stein put the Sacramento Kings on the map, considering LaVine’s journey with De’Aaron Fox and Co. According to Marc Stein, Zach LaVine might be interested in going to Sacramento as he signed a deal with them the last time he was a free agent. In 2018, LaVine reportedly signed a 4-year $78 million contract with the Kings as a restricted free agent. Chicago, however, matched Sacramento’s offer within 72 hours to keep LaVine in their squad. But this time, LaVine might get his wish and team up with De’Aaron Fox. “Because the Kings once signed Zach LaVine to an offer sheet, I think there will always be a connection drawn between the Kings and LaVine from that perspective.” Stein said.

It is still too early to truly determine where LaVine’s next destination will be because he is only in the 2nd year of a massive $215 million contract with the Bulls. And that amount is hard to get rid of for any team. Realistically, we might not see LaVine get traded till next month when more players become trade-eligible. “It’s been the buzz of the week, and I suspect that talk is only gonna get louder unless Chicago turns things around and starts winning games.” Stein added.

How will Zach LaVine fit with De’Aaron Fox?

After years of failure, the Sacramento Kings turned things around last season by making their first playoffs in 17 years. Mike Brown won Coach of the Year honors for his incredible leadership. De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis proved that they can be the two stars Sacramento builds their future around. This year, Sacramento is looking to take an even bigger leap and make a deep run in the playoffs.

The addition of Zach LaVine will provide another athletic scorer to their roster, which matches perfectly with their fast-paced game. LaVine, Fox, and Sabonis could be a deadly trio and wreak havoc on the league once they build chemistry. All three stars are young and in the middle of their prime, and they will have enough time to figure things out and make a run for the Championship.
