Zach LaVine Would Prefer To Remain With Bulls Past Deadline

[RealGM Wiretap]

After months of trade desires and speculation, Zach LaVine would reportedly prefer to remain with the Chicago Bulls through the February 6 trade deadline. LaVine requested a trade from Chicago nearly a year ago, but this surprising twist could take him off the market.

LaVine is having a career year for the Bulls. He's also proven that he's fully healthy. LaVine's change of heart doesn't preclude Chicago from trading him, but a deal hasn't emerged that has interested the team to this point.

The Bulls are receiving interest in center Nikola Vucevic and guard Lonzo Ball ahead of the trade deadline. Those talks are expected to continue through until the February 6 deadline.

Trade him while he’s healthy and his value is high. Don’t forget what a mess it was with him last year. Bulls need to bottom out.

Suns will look at him if Jimmy Butler doesn’t work? It’s annoying how these teams just try to copy each other and get as much talent, but without thinking how the pieces fit.
