Zach LaVine likely to re-sign for Bulls

My Bleacher Report colleague Jake Fischer reported Tuesday that his most recent reporting suggests LaVine will stay in Chicago. I’ve since been told that similar messaging has been conveyed to teams that were plotting to make a run at prying LaVine …

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jayson Tatum or Zach LaVine? Best two-way player, Andrew Wiggins or Jimmy Butler? Gobert, Ayton or Mark Williams? Did media voters almost give Iguodala the Finals MVP again for his garbage time defense? Ask Sam.

Joe Cowley once said the Bulls should trade Zach LaVine for Victor Oladipo!
I’ve let it sit out there for a good 18 months, letting bloggers and Twitter “gotcha!” people have their out-of-context fun. Reality? I was discussing a rumor and a what-if scenario to land a ’21 pick. – 10:38 AM

More on this storyline

After playing a pivotal role in Golden State’s championship success, Kevon Looney’s forthcoming free agency will be monitored more closely than anyone might have imagined a month ago. Charlotte and Sacramento, soon to be coached by Golden State assistant Mike Brown, are among the teams said to be interested in signing Looney away from the Warriors -via marcstein.substack.com / June 18, 2022
Pacers fan favorite Lance Stephenson would also like to re-sign with Indiana in free agency and Pacers free-agent guard Ricky Rubio is expected to receive interest from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who want to bring back the veteran point guard if they can make the money work. -via HoopsHype / June 18, 2022
