Bulls Might Have To Add Asset To Trade Zach LaVine

According to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, not only is Zach LaVine’s trade value down, but now Chicago may have to attach an asset of any kind to entice teams to trade for the veteran guard.

Johnson says the Detroit Pistons are still undecided about whether to trade for him, and many teams aren’t interested in LaVine. Past reports have revealed to fans that teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, who were once interested, don’t love his contract and don’t view him as a number one player.

The Bulls have no interest in expiring contracts, as they feel they will lose this trade financially and asset-wise. They’ve also been hesitant to add another asset to move LaVine.

Both sides continue to want to part ways; however, if the Bulls feel they are going to lose this deal and hurt themselves even more, they’ll stay put and force LaVine to stay.

The NBA’s trade deadline is February 8th, 2024.

Lonzo Ball (Wrist) Returning This Wednesday

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Chicago Bulls are expected to see the return of Lonzo Ball for Wednesday’s game against the Orlando Magic.

Since October 28th, Ball has been dealing with a wrist sprain. An injury he suffered shortly after making his awaited two-year return to court due to his knee injury.

The 27-year-old has only appeared in three games of the possible eighteen. He’s missing Chicago’s NBA Cup game against the Washington Wizards and will join them in the second half of their back-to-back.

Since returning to the court, Ball has averaged 4.7 points and 3.7 assists in 15.7 minutes.

Lonzo Ball To Play In First Game In Almost Three Years

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Lonzo Ball is set to play in his first game in almost three years after dealing with multiple knee injuries for a long time.

The 26-year-old will play an undisclosed amount of minutes on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Ball hasn’t played in a game since January of 2022, as Chicago was 27-13 in the Eastern Conference with one of the best records at that time.

A team official confirmed this to Charania, which is a massive comeback. The combo guard’s career averages are 11.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 252 games.

Josh Giddey Suffered Torn Ligament In Ankle

During the Chicago Bulls media day, Josh Giddey revealed to the public that he suffered a torn ligament in his ankle during the final Olympic game for Australia.

While this is considered a serious injury, the 21-year-old says he should be ready by opening night. Chicago’s opening night is an away game against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 23rd.

For those who don’t remember, Alex Caruso was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Giddey. This deal benefited both sides, but the Bulls have Giddey’s potential rookie scale extension they could offer him. This will be monitored throughout the season, especially given the nature of their trade for him.
