Bulls still finding no trade market for Zach LaVine
There’s a fine line between patience and concern, and the Bulls’ front office is doing its best to straddle that line. According to a source Wednesday, with many of the players who signed contracts during the summer eligible to be traded starting Friday, executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas is finding no real market interest in Zach LaVine.

Friday opens up the trading pool for a portion of the players that signed summer deals, but there is still a very dry market for the Bulls’ Zach LaVine. This could mess with AK’s plans.

DeMar DeRozan’s baseline jumper sends the Bulls to overtime in Milwaukee. Fun game. Coby White has been fantastic. Bulls battling without Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso. – 10:29 PM

If the Bulls aren’t giving away Lavine and Caruso as a duo (Morris, t. Harris, picks?) the #sixers should magically overcome their fear of tampering and see if Kawhi, PG, OG wants to ring chase for a max – 4:40 PM

More on this storyline
The Bulls have been linked to the Lakers and Raptors in the rumor mill, but multiple sources said LaVine and his representation obviously want Los Angeles because of the Klutch Sports connection. Lakers who would be eligible to be moved Friday include Jaxson Hayes, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish, D’Angelo Russell, Gabe Vincent and Christian Wood. -via Chicago Sun-Times / December 14, 2023
Another source said that the relationship between LaVine and coach Billy Donovan, while still amicable, is broken from a professional standpoint, mostly on LaVine’s end. He would rather make ripples than waves but no longer wants to play for Donovan and really hasn’t wanted to since last season. -via Chicago Sun-Times / December 14, 2023
As for LaVine, the view of several executives was summed up by one personnel advisor this weekend. “It’s going to be LA. He’s Klutch; they know (D’Angelo Russell) can’t hang for a deep playoff run. No one else is jumping to get LaVine.” There is now a consensus that the Bulls are not interested in trading Alex Caruso, much to the dismay of interested trade partners trying to sneak in and get the premier defender. -via Action Network / December 13, 2023
