Chicago Bulls
We’ve talked ad nauseam about the possibility of trading with the Bulls, but some things have changed that might make it more interesting for Detroit.
According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, the Bulls may have to attach a first-round pick to LaVine just to move him, and if that’s the case, the Pistons should be on the phone.
“I don’t even think if they attached a first round pick teams would take [Zach LaVine].”

LaVine has gone from overrated to almost criminally underrated at this point. When healthy, this guy is one of the best scorers in the league, and if the Pistons can get an asset for taking him, he might be worth it.
The Bulls also reportedly want to move Nikola Vucevic, a guy the Pistons should want no part of unless there are serious assets involved, as he regressed last season and can’t defend.
