The Chicago Bulls’ Zach LaVine might get acquired by the Boston Celtics this summer. The 28-year-old forward and guard played 77 games last season and averaged 24.8 points, 4.2 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game for the Bulls.
The Celtics offered Jaylen Brown the most expensive contract in the history of the NBA this summer. They have Jayson Tatum on their roster as well. All the teams would consider them as the contenders for the title this season. They are not obliged or forced to do it, but will they still try to sign Zach? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls involving Zach LaVine.
What would the Celtics offer for Zach LaVine?
The Celtics can offer Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams, Payton Pritchard, Luke Kornet, and one first-round pick each from 2024,2026 and 2030 in exchange for Zach LaVine. The Bulls had the likes of LaVine, DeRozan, and Vucevic last season, everybody thought they would be brilliant at attacking, and their defense would let them down. But it was the exact opposite of that. Their offense could not do the wonders they expected, while the defense was impressive. Is this deal going to take them to the playoffs?
The #Bulls should make a run at ‘disgruntled’ #Sixers Joel Embiid who now removed ‘Philadelphia’ from his profile.

Why would the Bulls trade-off Zach LaVine?
The Bulls failed to reach the playoffs last season and it is obvious they are trying to make changes. Zach can be considered for a trade rather than DeRozan and Vucevic because he would bring more assets to the team. They are getting 4 quality players and three draft picks in exchange for their young prolific guard. This should suffice their need for the rebuild.

Why would the Celtics like to sign Zach LaVine?
The Celtics already have a competitive squad, but since injuries have been an issue, they are probably considering getting a more reliable player. Zach would give their title charge a huge boost, and the trio of him, Brown, and Tatum might prove lethal for the opponents.
Would the Bulls fall for the Haul or will they try to build their roster around Zach? We’ll keep you updated.
