The Chicago Bulls’ desire to trade All-Star guard Zach LaVine this season was probably the NBA’s worst-kept secret. However, the team’s front office had talks with the Detroit Pistons, and they ultimately couldn’t find a suitable trade partner. LaVine’s foot injury and subsequent surgery then made it impossible to make anything happen this season.

With LaVine reportedly ahead of schedule regarding his recovery and rehabilitation, a report insists the Bulls must forge ahead and find a way to unload LaVine, even if it means receiving pennies on the dollar.
