The Chicago Bulls guard and forward Zach LaVine is likely to play for the San Antonio Spurs in the near future. The Spurs exploited the lottery system and landed the generational talent Victor Wembanyama on their roster. The lottery system in the NBA provides the weakest team an opportunity to land a superstar. The Spurs tanked enough and managed to land one of the most hyped youngsters in the league. But things aren’t going so well for them at the moment. Can they turn it around by acquiring the Bulls’ 28-year-old forward?
The Bulls are about to blow their roster. The likes of Alex Caruso, Nikola Jovic, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach have been put on the market and are likely to be flipped for assets. The Bulls would be eyeing a huge package in return for Zach, who is on the radar of the Lakers, the Sixers, and the Knicks. Who will offer the best package for the American forward? Will the Spurs be able to match that? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls involving Zach LaVine.
What would the Spurs offer for Zach LaVine?
The Spurs are expected to offer Keldon Johnson, Devonte’ Graham, Cedi Osman and a first-round pick each from the years 2025 and 2029 in exchange for the Bulls’ #8. The Bulls might get a better offer with more draft picks from other teams, and if that happens, they will trade the two-time NBA All-Star to that team.
The #Bulls front office is responding to trade offers for other players by saying they ‘want to see what the roster looks like post-Zach LaVine trade first’, per @KCJHoop.

Why would the Spurs like to sign Zach LaVine?
The Spurs have the worst record in the Western Conference. They are sitting at the bottom of the table after winning only 3 out of the 17 games they have played. The clouds of Victor’s departure might start looming over their head soon, so they would like to pair him with another star to turn it around.

Why would the Bulls trade-off Zach LaVine?
The Bulls are rebuilding after resisting it for the past 10 years. They would fancy collecting assets over keeping star players. So whoever teams offers them the best package, they should trade their players to that team.
