The Lakers are certainly keeping an eye trained toward the Bulls\u2019 developments. A player like Zach LaVine would satisfy Los Angeles\u2019 dreamiest returns for the two future first-round picks Rob Pelinka\u2019s front office has left in its stable,<\/a> although the murmured idea of flipping Russell Westbrook for Vucevic and DeRozan would appear a far more realistic outcome if Chicago does ultimately pivot from its postseason aspirations.

\nA layup and stepback jumper by Zach LaVine ties score 107-107, 4:33 to play.
\nDeMar DeRozan already has 8 points in the fourth quarter.
\nAnother “clutch” opportunity for the Bulls (in which they’re 3-10 this season). – 9:52 PM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nIncredible play by Alex Caruso. Sprinted to track down a pass \u2014 then, knowing he was too off-balance to go for a layup, threw it off the backboard for a Zach LaVine dunk pic.twitter.com\/bOfpC0eSaO<\/a> – 9:10 PM<\/a><\/p>\n

\nWho do you think is ranked too high or too low? Ten of my disagreements:
\nToo low: Anfernee Simons, Franz Wagner, CJ McCollum, Tyrese Haliburton, Klay Thompson
\nToo high: Julius Randle, Evan Mobley, Zach LaVine, Bradley Beal, Trae Young nbarankings.theringer.com<\/a> – 11:52 AM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Chicago could also look to move LaVine (after Jan. 15), who re-signed on a five-year, $215.2 million contract this summer. His name hasn’t buzzed yet on the rumor mill, but Chicago could find willing suitors if it made the two-time All-Star available<\/a>. -via Bleacher Report<\/a> \/ December 12, 2022\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Julia Poe: Zach LaVine said he will play tomorrow in Atlanta to close the latter half of the back-to-back.<\/a> It certainly helped that he could sit out the final quarter of tonight’s blowout, but he insisted: \u201cI was playing either way.” -via Twitter @byjuliapoe<\/a> \/ December 11, 2022\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Rob Schaefer: Asked Billy Donovan if he expects Zach LaVine to play both ends of B2B this weekend Summary: LaVine wants to play. Bulls medical still taking knee management day by day,<\/a> will see how he feels after DAL. Bulls off Mon\/Tue after ATL, so cause for optimism he\u2019ll play both. But TBD -via Twitter @rob_schaef<\/a> \/ December 9, 2022\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
