The Chicago Bulls are reportedly looking to move on from Zach LaVine this summer, and the San Antonio Spurs are hoping to improve the roster around Victor Wembanyama. Adding some extra shot creation could be a big help, but is LaVine the guy San Antonio should be pushing their chips in for?
The Bulls handed him a massive contract extension two years ago, and since then, they’ve gone through two losing seasons, and he’s struggled to stay on the court. His scoring would give the Spurs a big-time boost on the offensive end, but he’s already 29 years old and only has five playoff games under his belt.
Add in the fact that his massive contract would restrict the Spurs from making other significant additions, and it seems like a less-than-stellar idea.
Conclusion: Trading a lot of assets for LaVine isn’t the type of move that would help the Spurs improve enough to make the deal worth it.
