How will Zach LaVine’s season-ending surgery impact what the Chicago Bulls do at the 2024 NBA trade deadline? The decision made by LaVine, the Bulls, and his agent to elect for the surgery on his right foot that will keep him out for four to six months has almost certainly dampened any external interest in dealing for the UCLA alum.
But that does not mean that Chicago won’t be taking calls or making deals at the deadline. Nor will it keep the Bulls’ front office from trading LaVine in the offseason when more teams will be in a position to make a move.
There are plenty of trade rumors out there of interest in Alex Caruso, Andre Drummond, and even Patrick Williams, and the front office ought to move off the contract of DeMar DeRozan before he can leave for nothing.
The host of the NBC Sports Chicago “Bulls Talk” podcast K.C. Johnson and Kevin Anderson shared their thoughts on how Chicago’s deadline will go — check it out above.
