It’s been no secret that the Knicks have been interested in potentially acquiring Zach LaVine and have engaged in multiple trade talks with the Bulls dating back to December of last year. And while we had heard that the Bulls themselves were also interested in gauging LaVine’s value and potentially dealing him this summer, we hadn’t really heard much about how LaVine and his camp felt. But that changed yesterday.
Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reported that LaVine, who is represented by Klutch Sports, made it clear that he would prefer not to deal with a Knicks front office that has strong ties with CAA and seemed to prioritize the agency’s players.
