The Bulls know they will have to deal with the rumors surrounding Zach LaVinenow that Shams Charania has announced that the back and the Bulls are ready to turn the page, and seek a transfer.
And it begins since The Athletic explains that LakersTHE Heat and the Sixers are the three teams likely to be interested in the two-time All-Star (2021, 2022). In charge of covering the Los Angeles franchise, Jovan Buha ensures that the “Purple & Gold”’s interest in Zach LaVine is ” real “but not at any cost.
The former Wolves’ athletic and shooting qualities make him a necessarily interesting complement around LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but the exchange could include more…
Impossible to move before December 15?
If Chicago decides to do a major cleaning, the Lakers could also position themselves on DeMar DeRozan and or Alex Caruso, assures The Athletic.

In any case, even if Austin Reaves returned to the bench recently, The Athletic assures that the Lakers do not intend to include him during the negotiations. If there are negotiations.
