Bulls 'Quietly Gauging' Trade Market Of Zach LaVine

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Chicago Bulls have begun "quietly gauging" potential trade interest in Zach LaVine, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

LaVine has four seasons remaining on his new five-year, $215 million deal.

The Bulls are likely to maintain a larger asking price for LaVine than the Washington Wizards will for Beal.

Well! Not so quiet anymore.

Bulls and author of this are dreaming. Beal is twice the player of Lavine. Lavine is not a winning player and takes Bad shots. I think in the right system and players around him, Beal can contribute to a winning team

Good luck with that. I think it's one of those situations where Chicago will obviously value LaVine a lot more than other teams will which therefore means Chicago is better off keeping LaVine.

2 years younger, $7m per cheaper and doesn't have a no-trade. Lavine should certainly hold more trade value

No, they are better off dumping him for smaller movable salaries... but I think you are right that they won't.

They are both fake superstars. Good, but overpaid for a long time and often injured. Desperation will be the mother of any trade for either of these two.

They're both guys you don't want your team shelling out $200m for.

This is completely delusional. Zach is better than Beal.

I guess we'll see this year. Beal's finally got some talent around him. IF Suns flop, I'll admit you were right, but can't say anything till we actually see the proof in the pudding
