Arturas Karnisovas, the president of the Chicago franchise, is sparing no effort to find a team that agrees to recover Zach LaVine and his whopping $138 million contract over the next three seasons.
So much so that the manager would have imagined up to 15 transfer scenarios… In particular to the Kings, the Jazz, the Magic or the Sixers. Without success so far.
And for good reason since, according to Marc Stein, the Sixers and Jazz are reportedly not interested in Zach LaVine. For Philadelphia, and even if the track that leads to Paul George is less topical, the leaders have 65 million dollars to inject this summer, so even if the demands of the Bulls have dropped, they can strengthen themselves by signing free players , and not in the amount of transfers.
Not to mention that a combination between Tyrese Maxey, who has just exploded this season, and Zach LaVine might not work. As both players need the ball to exist, there is a risk that they will step on each other.
As for the Jazz, the name of Tobias Harris is starting to circulate but the direction of the franchise is still unclear. And Danny Ainge, although not afraid of the idea of trying shots, does not seem ready to give up several players or Draft rounds for Zach LaVine.
