Bulls All-Star Who Was Linked With Huge Move to LeBron James’ Lakers Garners Surprising New Interest

Zach Lavine is at a crossroads in his career. The Bulls All-Star has always wanted to compete in playoffs but he has a decision to make now. He is a free agent this summer. He can either go back to the Bulls who have shown by making aggressive moves that they want to compete or he can go to a more stable franchise. But what will he choose?

With a potential four-year contract in play, Lavine will spend the better part of his prime with the team he signs with. Let us go through the possible destinations he could go to.

A new team in the mix?

According to multiple league sources, Atlanta Hawks have emerged as a new contender in the Zach Lavine sweepstakes. Along with Trae Young, Zach can form a dynamic offensive duo. Moreover, Atlanta has a young enough roster that can compete for years to come.

There might be some questions on the defensive side of the game, but the offense will have the firepower to overcome them. Zach Lavine has a tough decision to make.

Lakers add another star?

Lonzo Ball’s father LaVar Ball recently dropped an offseason bomb. LaVar, in a recent interview, said, “He’s gone and I’m going to tell you why. It started off ‘Zach LaVine, Zach LaVine, Zach LaVine’. Now you get hurt and a few things happen and guess who’s doing all the big plays? All I hear is DeMar. He don’t want to play second fiddle.” The Lakers can be an enticing option for Lavine.

In LA, Lavine will have time to team up with LeBron and company, but he may have to play the third fiddle there. Adding Lavine to their current roster makes sense for the Lakers. As they can then afford to move off Westbrook even at a trade loss. Will the idea of coming to LA and teaming up with LeBron be enough for the Lakers to convince Zach remains to be seen?

Staying with the Bulls

After years of dysfunction, the new management finally showed signs of life in Chicago last year Chicago. They signed former All-Star DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso among others.

They also traded for big man Vucevic from the Orlando Magic a year before. This team had a very good start for the season before injuries derailed their season. Lonzo couldn’t finish the season due to an injury.

They had multiple players going out for an extended period. Ultimately, it led to a disappointing sixth seed finish and a first-round exit at the hands of the Bucks. If Zach stays, he will get a good enough score to compete, but the window for contention might be a tad small. Let us know in the comments below where should Zach go.
