Lakers, Knicks, Mavs And Heat Are Interested In Zach LaVine

Zach LaVine has been one of the most recurrent topics in the NBA for a while now, as his name has been mentioned among a lot of trade rumors recently. The Chicago Bulls star remains one of the best players in his position in the league and somebody that would make teams serious contenders. 

However, that hasn't happened in Windy City, and LaVine is reportedly questioning his role on the team. The Bulls have been wandering around the league the first two and a half months of competition, making things hard for LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and head coach Billy Donovan. 

In recent weeks, Zach was linked with the Dallas Mavericks to make a great tandem with Luka Doncic, but also with the Los Angeles Lakers, where LeBron James and Anthony Davis would welcome him with open arms. 

Zach LaVine Is A Man In-Demand Right Now 

Moreover, a couple of teams have joined this race, and recently, Mike Scotto of HoopsHype revealed the host of teams that are interested in LaVine, one of the best shooting guards in the league at this moment. 

If the Chicago Bulls make Zach LaVine available before the trade deadline, rival executives are keeping an eye on several teams who could have interest in trading for him, including the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat.

All these teams have been mentioned at some point in the same breath as LaVine, and now that the possibility of him leaving the Chicago Bulls appears to be bigger, things just get more interesting. 

A Doncic-LaVine backcourt in Dallas would be so fun to watch, but also him doing his thing alongside AD and LeBron. The Knicks have some good young players that can thrive alongside Zach too, but we know how easy it is for the Knicks to blow big opportunities. As for the Heat, perhaps a presence like LaVine is what they need to turn things around and go back to winning ways after a tumultuous start to the season. 

Any of these teams would benefit a lot from having Zach LaVine on the roster, but it seems like only one or two will be in serious conversations for the NBA championship.
