Chicago is trying and failing to give the former All-Star away.
, the Bulls have not been able to find a trade partner willing to take LaVine off their hands. Chicago is even willing to attach a first round pick to move the former All-Star, but there have been no takers for his contract.
That's a damning assessment of LaVine's value as he's set to enter the third season of a five-year, $215.2 million deal. He's due to make $43 million during the 2024-25 season, $46 million in 2025-26, then has a $49 million player option for the 2026-27 campaign. He's almost guaranteed to exercise that option, so he'll be owed $138 million over the next three seasons.
It's clear LaVine's value is dropping like a rock and NBA teams don't want to take on all that salary, even if Chicago adding assets to the deal.
