The Chicago Bulls are stuck in basketball mediocrity now.
They’re not bad enough to land a top-tier pick, and their scouting has left plenty to be desired.
They’re not good enough to make a run at a championship either, and being stuck in the middle is the worst possible position for any organization.
However, it seems like Arturas Karnisovas might finally be onto something.
According to a report by Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Bulls could finally look to offload Zach LaVine in the offseason.
Nonetheless, he adds that his market is quite limited, with only the Detroit Pistons showing a legitimate interest last season.
The Bulls will attempt to trade Zach LaVine this offseason, but his market appears to be severely limited.
Only one team reportedly showed interest in LaVine at the deadline, the Pistons, but they will likely pivot with GM Troy Weaver’s future with the organization seriously in… pic.twitter.com/P1WfegyiEW

Also, with LaVine’s large contract, the Bulls might have to attach more assets just to get rid of him.
LaVine hasn’t looked happy in Chicago for years, and he’s bumped heads with coach Billy Donovan and even the media.
His empty stats don’t contribute to winning basketball, and he’s not particularly durable either.
Not many teams will want to give up value for an injury-prone one-dimensional player that is owed a lot of money.
But the Bulls are in this situation by overpaying for mid-tier players, so they must now right this wrong.
It’s been long enough already.
