Before I jump into this any further, I want to emphasize the fact that I think it’s a bad idea for the Chicago Bulls to shop star shooting guard Zach LaVine heading into next season. Given the core that executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley have formed around LaVine since the trade deadline last season, it makes sense to push for a contract extension ahead of next offseason.
LaVine is up for a likely max-level contract extension next offseason, which is something that should be explored by the front office.
