2. Zach LaVine Is Traded

This was a rumor since last trade deadline. The Bulls decided to hang onto their stars and head into the offseason. Markkanen ended up being moved and LaVine could be next. 

This all comes down to what the Bulls believe the future looks like. If LaVine is part of it, the two sides have to get a deal done. The fact that it has not been done to this point could be telling. LaVine is entering the final year of his contract and has turned into one of the best scorers in the game.

If the Bulls want to trade him, it would not be difficult with many teams interested in a deal. 

There are no rumors to this point but it is a storyline to keep an eye on. With only one year left on the deal, these talks can begin to heat up, especially when the trade deadline rolls around.
