The Chicago Bulls guard and forward Zach LaVine was supposed to receive offers from the New York Knicks. The Bulls and the Knicks are in completely opposite situations. The Knicks have a talented roster, and they are looking to land a franchise player who can lead them to glory. On the other hand, the Bulls are struggling, results are not going in their favor and they are likely to rebuild this season.
Since the Bulls have a lot of veterans, they are trying to trade them off for some capital as a part of their rebuilding process. Everyone, including Alex Caruso, DeMar DeRozan, and LaVine, is being linked with multiple teams to crack a deal. Zach was linked with the Knicks since he is the kind of player they were looking for, but the deal is not likely to take place now. The Knicks might have changed their mind. Will they go for him, or are they going to look out for somebody else?
