The Chicago Bulls' uncertainty is close to being blown out of the water. Things have not been working out in Chicago since last season. In addition to poor results, Zach LaVine, the Illinois team's benchmark player, has become dissatisfied (almost publicly).
The LaVine-DeRozan duo has not been working, and the short-term goal has not been achieved. Chicago, with interesting pieces to shake up the market, is facing a few crucial days to move forward and begin a new era. Maybe from scratch or with interesting young players.

In addition to the two previously mentioned, Alex Caruso, perhaps the most coveted member of the team for his defensive versatility and commitment on the court, could also be traded. As of today, no one seems untouchable on the Bulls.
That's where the Lakers come into the picture and, according to rumours, are watching what happens in Chicago with curiosity. LaVine is under contract until 2027. The Athletic, an American media outlet, reported that the Lakers are looking to involve him in a trade. With LeBron nearing 39, a Davis who, when healthy, is one of the league's best, the obligation to compete is now.
Mega-trade to shake up the NBA
So Caruso could also be affected in this move, returning to the franchise with which he was a champion in 2020 and where he made his name known to the world. The Lakers could give secondary players. The transfer could be made up as follows:
To the Lakers
- Zach LaVine
- Alex Caruso
To the Bulls
- Rui Hachimura
- D'Angelo Russell
- Austin Reaves
- (Possibly) Gabe Vincent
