The Chicago Bulls had a decent season, all thanks to the pre-season trades and a duo of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. LaVine’s contract expires this season and he will soon be a free agent. While the Bulls? management is all set to offer him a new contract, LaVine might have different plans.
The Bulls are sure to offer him a higher value contract. Yet it is still dicey if that is going to be a deciding factor. There are many teams interested in the two-time NBA all-star player. Darnell Mayberry of Athletic quoted ?It is not far fetched to think LaVine could have his eyes, if not his heart, set elsewhere.????
It seems clear the Bulls are prepared to offer Zach LaVine a max contract offer.
But does LaVine still want to be in Chicago?@DarnellMayberry weighs in: https://t.co/HfqBeiviOb pic.twitter.com/OgBaAAhbFF

The Chicago Bulls fans have already started dreaming of having another dynasty. DeMar DeRozan, combined with Zach LaVine and supported by players such as Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams, surely form a championship team. This year, LaVine averaged 24.4 points with 4.5 assists and 4.6 rebounds.
Lavine’s leaving the team will surely break the hearts of the fans. The possibility of Chicago winning another trophy will also be reduced significantly if they don?t get another all-star caliber player.

Where can Zach LaVine possibly go?
There are multiple teams that would love to have LaVine on board. The primary contender in this race is the Miami Heat. They lost to the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Teaming LaVine with Butler will surely make them an unstoppable force in the NBA. Heats were ranked among the third-worst offense this season. Having LaVine on their side will surely help their case.

Another possible trade destination for LaVine is the Dallas Mavericks. They also got defeated in the conference final and LaVine teaming up with Luka will make them a great offensive team. Mavericks do need another all-star player if they want to lift the trophy and LaVine surely ticks all the benchmarks.

As of now, all of these are just speculations. We will have to wait and watch if LaVine chose to be loyal to the Bulls or if he would like to take chances with different teams.
