Partly true, but in reality, he's not a player to build a contender around. The front office made the mistake of signing players like him (scores that require the ball in their hands and didn't play good defense) to complement him. Zack never evolved to becoming a more complete player, either. There's a reason, besides injuries and the big contact, that other teams are hesitant to trade for a 25 ppg player. Contenders didn't want him and he doesn't want to be traded to bad teams. That's makes it tough for both sides.

I assume he thought he’d get sent somewhere desirable. Although I think the writing on the wall was there last year, before the injury. When the team is better without you, $40 million plus per year isn’t a great investment. The fact that he’s still here means he doesn’t have value on his current contract.

Plain and simple. All other teams prefer to wait and see if Lavine will be back as OG Lavine after the surgery. If he be back playing well, money and buzz around him will be no problem. Fact is that nobody respects Chicago right now.

The media tarnished Zach’s career lowkey. Once the team started 5-14 and then they started winning without him, the media dragged him.

To be fair to Zach, he was signed to a max deal but the team was not built around the max player. Zo and Caruso were perfect because they both play defense and Zo is a transitional passer who helped Zach get easy baskets in the open floor. But how can you have 2 players, like Zach and Derozan, who are similar in style, but can't defend. Add a center in Vuc who can't defend. That spells a disaster. If it wasn't for Caruso and Zo, it would have looked even worse. Derozan pretty much stole Zach's role although Zach was given the max. What was the logic in doing that? If you believed in Zach to give him a max, why would you then put him in the background as a #2? It wasn't done when he was putting up 50 to push the Bulls, which is why he got the max. So the team should have been constructed around him. You now have young athletic players. Patrick should have been given a bigger role but because of the structure he too was pushed in the background. I even believe the current team is better for him and Zach. Zach can now be the lead on a team with role players and you have Giddey and Zo as passers. You can never have enough ball movers on a team. If Zo comes back defensively, he can fill Caruso's role and also be the 3 point specialist. But I don't think the Bulls want any success, tanking to keep that Spurs pick is the goal instead of winning. Why tank when you may have the formula? Try it and see. It may surprise you.

So you think the Knicks should pay a #4 or 5 the same amount as Zach as Anunoby just signed a $215 million over 5 years? Giddey qualifies for a max of $215. Say he has a most improved player and comes close to averaging a triple double on a lottery team. Would you give Giddey the max if the team loses more game than they ever did with Zach but he has great numbers?

Ive been a Bulls fan 30 years they are the masters in asset mismanagement. It's unfair to place all the blame on Zach. The Bulls failed to put him in position to succeed in favor of going through DeRozan down the stretch of games. He carried the team when they had rosters full of guys who are under 30 and out of the NBA already. With that being said giving a Klutch sports client a max deal comes with shenanigans this was predictable. They are in the business of trying to get their clients to L.A. as long as LeBron is playing.

Im in the minority that still thinks to keep Zach and let him build up his value. I would hate for AK to attach more future first round picks especially when we are trying to rebuild through the draft. I do think Lavine will do what Billy D and his teammates ask of him on the basketball court just the same as how he was trying to facilitate more and not be so ball dominant before he re-injured himself and went for surgery. Let AK and Rich Paul sort out the other stuff and you Zach just worry about what happens on the court. Just my thoughts.

They’re just going to have to keep him for the time being. Can’t see any team interested in trading for him.

Zach is being crazt disrespected. Yes, his contract is not favorable. Yes, he has not been who he is expected to be when he signed his MAX deal. But man, I swear teams would rather take on Ben Simmons' contract for example over Zach's contract....

Ben Simmons' contract expires after this reason, Zach has two year left AFTER this season in the age of the second apron. Zach has more value as a player, but he's not the best player on a top 5 seed team. Ben's contract has more value in getting under the aprons.

Exactly like you said, I think given the contract Zach is on compared to what others are currently signing… this contract may not look that bad next year or the following year. I think it’s worth trying to rebuild the relationship with Lavine but it seems like it may be too late. I rather Zach Lavine over any of these trade scenarios quite honestly.

You’re the reason this narrative is out. Lavine will not be selfish come the beginning of the season he’ll play team ball like he did upon his return. He avg damn near a triple double.

We shouldn't try to extract value out of teams (2nd round at best) and we absolutely should not give up a pick to get rid of him. If he sucks it up and raises his value its a win win.

I feel like you nailed it. The thing is, there’s just a difference in being a professional scorer and being a franchise cornerstone that you can build around. It’s felt like the last few years have really shown Zach either doesn’t know/ or has no interest in doing all the things you gotta do to be a cornerstone. I get it, it’s a lot easier to just be a scorer. Sigh. Either way, sad to see Demar go , we didn’t deserve him

This is why clippers made the ride decision to let Paul George walk for nothing. It will turn into another Zach lavine situation. Magic giving franz Wagner the max might turn into another Darius garland situation. Cleveland can’t give away Darius for free

The Knicks just gave a 3 option player, Anunoby, the max or $215 like Zach. Contracts are changing as the Celtics have 2 players making $300 million. This Zach contract is normal now.

how bad of a front office do you have to be to be getting low balled so hard for a player. who despite his flaws and supposed lack of impact on winning (kind of b.s. stat when you happen to be with a garbo organization for most of your prime) is one of the most gifted offensive players in the league. a guy who in the right situations could i believe be a 50-40-90 guy and can score at every lvl.

A lot of people would feel like absolute TRASH at this point if they were in Zach Lavine's shoes... I mean honestly, i can't think of the last time a player was discussed as being so undesirable _league-wide_, it's crazy. You'd think we're talking about a guy who never scored more than 10ppg, had terrible efficiency, AND has a thing for taking a dump in the owners lounge every Sunday. Maybe Lavine's a bit of a dick, idk, but dude better have some seriously thick skin

this guy is clueless, talking about lavine is in his prime, and had injuries before and he got to chicago and they have only gotten worse and hes finna be 30, sorry to let u know the bulls shouldve traded lavine and derozan 2 years ago and now yall will get nothing for both of them 😭😭

I disagree that Zach is going to play selfish basketball when he returns. Did we all forget how he came out after the team started winning when he got injured? He returned looking like a new player, played off-ball, improved his playmaking, played good defence. That's not the signs of someone who's going to blow everything up to play selfish ball.

Too much Zach hate. Dude is a beast yall will take him for granted. I’d rather see him have a turn around season then see him walk but that’s just me.

The second I hear the news of Zack Lavine getting traded, I will immediately hit up my Bulls friends and schedule a time to link up to smoke a J in celebration of Zack Lavine not being a Bull. There is no question that Zach Lavine is a talented Basketball player, but I am sure I am not the only one that had to try to convince myself I liked Zack Lavine because he was a Bull.

Let’s get this over with - time for the young Bulls to get going👍

I think a point missing here is that he is a complete non factor on defense.. sure the scoring is nice but in a league where so much is happening on the wings, things need to be switched and so on he is more of a liability then having an overall positive impact for a winning team

This is a good example of fans overvaluing their own players. It went from “no way we are trading Lavine for only 2 picks” to “no way we giving up a 1st just to get off his salary”.

His deal is not bad...top players are making 60-70 million per year

It would have been nice if you made some trade speculators. Which contenders can even afford LaVine? Pacers, Thunder, Warriors? I don't know

when zach came back the first time, he was great on the court. and there were plenty of rumors then and all that, but he was deferring and not taking crazy shots. what behavior have you seen from him that would imply that it would be different now?

I think it’s part Zach’s injury question marks, but mostly an indictment of the way other teams view the Bulls FO. I just think teams believe they ultimately will give even more to get off the money or potentially agree to a buy out and someone will add him and make the Bulls look very stupid.

This front office pisses me off. Bulls fan est. '93 I've watched this team give up on Ron Artest and Lauri Markkanen too early 😠. Should have never given up on Butler. Wouldn't have this problem. Zach can not play with us again. He will be taking touches from Giddey, White. Figure something out.

You can't presume (although you are correct) that, if Zach stayed, he'd play selfish, me-first basketball if he played here this season AND say that he is, or has been, a consummate professional. Those two things don't go together, and that's why teams don't want him. He overvalued himself and the Bulls are the only team that fell for it. We outbid the market and ourselves. We should NEVER have given him that contract.

No trade is possible with his current contract and value. LaVine will stay with the Bulls, probably won't get too much minutes though.

Despite his off-season work ethic....he NEVER worked in the mental aspect of the game which is why his passing is mediocre, poor time management and enhancing his game in a way to elevate his teammates.

Please just get DeRozan and Lavine off the team PLEASE

DeRozan is off the team. Nothing Demar does really has to do with the Bulls unless the Bulls do a sign and trade.

​@riveysworld2442 at this point I would be ok with Lavine for nothing. I don't give a damn what fake Bulls fans say because they are not the ones filling the United Center. Casual fans who can't name one player are who's going rn. All in the name of being where Jordan once played. Smh

Time 4@buyout & the bulls front office learn @hard lesson bout paying 4 what could b instead of RESULTS!!!

No team wants to trade for death sentence of a contract. Chicago shot themselves on the foot.

Zach planned to get paid and leave Chicago. Every single off court decision he's made since going into the '20-'21 season indicates this. His relationship with the Bulls has always been something of a house of cards. This goes way back to when he signed his initial 80m dollar contract all those years ago. Of course he's always said the right thing and been a professional. But the house of cards began to crumble when his plan to leave...which we'll just call for personal and business reasons...didn't work out as intended. This is the result. And if the Bulls weren't silly for re-signing him to his most recent contract....they would have lost him for nothing otherwise....they were stupid for not trading him the season before last when his value was at an all time high. They could have cleared him and the contract off the books and walked away with a couple players and better yet, a few picks. They did nothing. Management...good management...could see this coming a mile away. From the time they signed him they should have seriously considered trading him. And not for perceived "equal talent." Role players, picks, done. Oh...but this is Bulls management? Nevermind😅😭😅

I remember being so happy when he signed his extension and now he is a cancer to our team what a selfish player smh

It blows my mind that somebody like Rich Paul who was able to pressure teams to not draft Bronny James isn't able to find a team that will take Zach's contract.

When you have a $212M deal your trying to get off your books, there is no such thing as a bad deal less taking more years and money.. Now if its for a more effective player, then do it. Clutch Sports didnt want him in Detroit and Zach didnt want to be in Detroit so he went for surgery to destroy that deal. Clutch wants there guys in major markets so they gonna hold the Bulls hostage for as long as they can.. If he cant get to eihter coast, no move will happen if they have anything to do with it.. And no matter how you feel about Zach, the League has told you that him at that money is Ludacris. 20/5/5 on losing teams dont mean you great, it means you have the green light.

The fact that you think billy benching zach is ok is why I always disagree with your opinion on his tenure. Name a current player of his caliber that has been benched for a bad shooting game?

The bulls have given lavine enough opportunity. Time to move on

Братан, из Москвы тебя смотрю, подписан год.

Both Zach and the front office is to blame for this messy Breakup

Imagine we traded Lavine during that year RUdy Gobert got traded

If the 1st is still attached then there is a growing voice to trade him to LA.

The fact you’re trying to deny Zach has one of/if not the worst contract in the NBA is delusional. There aren’t 5 contracts in the NBA worse than his

The Bulls screwed themselves the minute they gave him that contract.

Yup, just like when the Wizards gave Bradley Beal a supermax contract with a no trade clause. It had negative value before the ink dried.

It's the same organisation who treated MJ with disrespect. So, what's new

Just keep him then

so what let it get messy its entertainment 🍾

Whatever you do take your negative energy and don’t bring it to Chicago Bears cause we got a lot of good defensive players and we got a lot of good office players not sure what we really got because everything looks good on paper but just keep your negative mine somewhere else real Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox fans don’t need Joe crazy Negative vibes if I go to the United center and pay for a ticket, I want my team to at least have some stars playing basketball for me to root for if the chemistry ain’t working and we lose well I will still be more happy that I at least had entertainment versus aunwatchable game I hope that makes sense

I was around in 1991 1 to 1998 when we won all those championships I’m 57 years old. I remember when we had garbage basketball play after garbage play until we got some remarkable recruiters who knew how to draft good talent these guys are garbage as well as you being garbage, not understanding that they are garbage and drafting. I’m starting to see the AK got lucky with joker and others. His assistant the one that’s doing the trades. He made some good trades but rebuilding means Making good decisions in the draft AK have not been good and drafts P Williams has not turned out good even though he’s paying him like he has Jaylin Terry garbage second Round pics, so so I don’t trust this current group of failures no more than I trusted the less group of failures to draft future stars Their moves, Alonzo Ball DeMar DeRozan Nikola Vucevic May by other guy You have to get behind re tool Or get off KZread

I agree. Zach can never play another game for the Bulls.

What’s Zach issue the bulls paid him to do nothing win nothing!! I’m confused

Sorry bro but Lavine is definitely on one of the worst contracts in the league. If that wasn’t the case they wouldn’t have any problems moving him. Just look at all of the players that were given massive contracts recently.

Ain't nobody gna miss LaVine.. He's gonna get booed when his new team plays Chicago

Hate to see zo Lavine derozen go tbh especially zo

Dude you realize you are part of the reason why public perception of lavine isnt good right? Own fanbase is trashing lavine whos been given shit for 7 yrs and simultaneously praising the best teammate hes had is a 34 yr old journeyman who was never a winner before the bulls got here. Ive always liked your takes otherwise but your obsession with demar and this raging hatred against lavine is not something thats gone unnoticed. So to hear you call anyone saying lavines deal the worst in the league "annoying" feels disingenuous at best because you are part of the reason why that idea is in their heads in the 1st place. Do better

I’ve given my share of criticism for both . The difference is Demar has shown well up on and off the court by mentoring the young players. You can’t say that about Zach

@BullsCentral What you mentioned is just one aspect and he does have a point. Zach didn’t get paid to mentor anybody, that’s not his job. Zach got paid to put to score the damn ball. Being asked to mentor the young guys sounds like the Bulls were never serious about contending so I can understand Lavine’s frustration… The Bulls said one thing but did another. We were first in the east when we put a winning roster around Lavine. That was the ONLY time. So this is what’s going to happen… We’re going to revisit this mid season if Lavine is healthy and is on a better roster. We’re about to see if Lavine is all of these things.
