After a rocky couple of seasons, it seems like LaVine might get the fresh start he has been hoping for since last year.<\/p><p>LaVine, who&rsquo;s been trying to find a new home for some time, hasn&rsquo;t had the easiest road. Last season, poor play and a foot surgery really hurt his trade value. His massive $43 million salary didn&rsquo;t help either, making it tough for the Bulls to find a team willing to take him on.<\/p><p>Selected 13th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, LaVine has been with the Bulls since 2017. However, he didn&rsquo;t enjoy much success in the white &amp; red jersey. <\/p><p>But this season, things are looking up for the 29-year-old. He is having his most efficient season yet, putting up 24.0 points and 4.5 assists while shooting 51.2% from the floor.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gimme the hot sauce, Zach LaVine!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CHSN__?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@CHSN__<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZachLaVine?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@ZachLaVine<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rb2ju7jaEO\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/rb2ju7jaEO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chicagobulls\/status\/1884075557098279057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 28, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>According to ESPN&rsquo;s Brian Windhorst, talks between the Bulls and the Phoenix Suns have taken place, with the idea of Bradley Beal possibly landing in Chicago. However, recent reports suggest Beal is not willing to waive his no-trade clause to join the Bulls. <\/p><p>The Golden State Warriors is also reportedly considering a trade that would send Draymond Green to the Bulls in exchange for LaVine. With Golden State struggling to find scoring consistency outside of Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, a move like this could make sense. The Warriors may be looking to swap some defense for offense, adding LaVine&rsquo;s scoring ability while shipping out Green. <\/p><p>Meanwhile, Bulls&rsquo; insider K.C. Johnson has reported that Milwaukee Bucks have also shown serious interest in trading for LaVine. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Fastbreak EP. 3: Bulls trade rumors, how a deal for Zach LaVine would work, Lonzo Ball's role\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ldv_CHCm3QY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/miami-heat-suspend-jimmy-butler-indefinitely-for-walking-out-of-practice-ahead-of-trade-deadline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Miami Heat suspend Jimmy Butler indefinitely for walking out of practice ahead of trade deadline<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/lamelo-ball-injury-latest-update-on-charlotte-hornetss-star-ankle-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>LaMelo Ball Injury: Latest update on Charlotte Hornets&rsquo;s star ankle injury<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/knicks-massacre-the-grizzlies-at-the-garden-with-over-140-points\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Knicks massacre the Grizzlies at the Garden with blowout win<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Zach LaVine will miss the next few games for the Bulls<\/h2><p>Amid the trade buzz, LaVine will be sidelined for a while, but not for the reasons you might think.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Zach LaVine will be out for Wednesday&rsquo;s game in Boston due to personal reasons, per Billy Donovan.
