Miami Heat could be eyeing Zach LaVine

Staff

Courtesy of Fan Recap The Miami Heat’s offseason can be described as disappointingly quiet, marking them as one of the less successful teams in terms of bolstering their roster. The Heat made minimal additions, with shooter Alec Burks being the notable new face. However, the departure of Caleb Martin to the Philadelphia 76ers – with a four-year contract worth $35 million – was a significant blow to the team’s depth and versatility. Martin’s exit underscores a broader issue: Miami’s lack of significant moves to strengthen their squad further, particularly after…

Help is not on the way for the Bulls

Brandon King

title image via Sports Illustrated After slogging through the 2023-24 season to a 39-43 and getting blasted in the play-in game 112-91 by the Miami Heat, which was the second straight season their postseason ended before it got started, the Chicago Bulls currently find themselves in the worst place an NBA team can find itself, the basketball purgatory of mediocrity.  The Bulls are not a team that is making deep postseason runs, nor are they a ballclub that is amongst the bottom feeders of the Association. They are in the…

Zach LaVine to miss 3-4 weeks with foot injury

Brandon King

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine will miss 3-4 weeks with what the team is calling “right foot inflammation.” LaVine had initially missed a week undergoing “active rest” to help deal with the injury. With the trade winds surrounding the 2-time NBA All-Star becoming a maelstrom, the likelihood that Lavigne has suited up for the Bulls for the final time seems highly probable. Prior to the injury Lavine was off to a slow start this season, averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game on .443/.336/.866 splits. His percentages…

Former Knick GM insinuates that Zach LaVine is overpaid

Brandon King

Zach LaVine’s slow smoldering and impending divorce with the Chicago Bulls has been scuttlebutt around the NBA. The Bulls’ All-Star guard has allegedly requested a trade out of the Windy City and as the Bulls have drunkenly stumbled out of the gates 5-10, several teams have started sniffing around regarding LaVine. Former New York Knicks GM Scott Perry is not impressed with LaVine and he let it be known with some recent comments regarding the two-time Slam Dunk champ: “Zach LaVine can score the basketball…Does he impact winning? Zach LaVine…

Could Zach LaVine be on the move?

Brandon King

Zach Lavine’s name has done the hokey pokey in trade talks for the last 18 months. Recently , reporting from Shams Charania and Bulls insider K.C. Johnson has revealed that both sides are “open” to the possibility of a trade. The Bulls’ asking price for the two-time All-Star has not been cheap, with the team reportedly seeking multiple first round picks, a young player and a veteran. It must also be said that “openness” to a trade does not equate to a deal being imminent. However , as the Bulls…

CBS ranks Zach Lavine 43 best player in NBA

Staff

Courtesy of adamtaylornba of BullsWire Zach LaVine has found his name in trade rumors in recent weeks. The veteran guard is arguably the Chicago Bulls‘ most tradeable asset and could be the franchise’s first move if they decide to enter a rebuild or pursue a new star player. LaVine, 28, has been a core part of Chicago’s rotation for six years, but now, the two-time All-Star could find himself suiting up for a new team before the end of the upcoming season. Chicago’s reasoning makes sense. LaVine is a legitimate three-level scorer…

Introducing new sneaker free agent, Zach LaVine

Brandon King

Conventional wisdom would typically dictate that if a sneaker company had a player on their roster who was coming off the best season of their career, one that included getting their first All-Star nod as well as contributing to a gold medal winning Olympic team, the company should do what they can to retail them as part of brand. Unfortunately, the company is Adidas, the player is Zach LaVine and that course of action laid out would have been too much like right. The Chicago Bulls All-Star had signed a…
