Top 3 Trade Destinations For Zach LaVine


Now that the Chicago Bulls and Zach LaVine are open to parting ways, teams are clamoring to get in on the action to trade for the consistent 25 PPG scorer. 

A look now at 3 top contenders to land the two-time All-Star. 

Philadelphia 76ers

Immediately after they sent James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers (a team that just might be regretting that move right now), word began to filter down that the Sixers would use those Clipper assets to make a move for another star, and LaVine's name was front and center. Perhaps that comes to fruition now. Adding LaVine to the Embiid/Maxey combo could be deadly for the opposition in the Eastern Conference.

Miami Heat

One of the teams on LaVine's rumored list of preferred landing spots. The Heat failed in their attempt to bring in one All-Star scorer this past offseason (Damian Lillard), but they'll certainly keep trying to add that offensive boost they're looking for. After surviving a summer of rumors, could Tyler Herro still be dealt after all?

Los Angeles Lakers

Another team that is said to be one of LaVine's preferred destinations, the Lakers are still looking for a third true star to play with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. LaVine would add a tremendous scoring boost for the Lakers, and should be a perfect complementary piece for LeBron and AD. Who would be on the block to head to Chicago, is the question. Would the Lakers be willing to part with Austin Reaves? 

The Golden State Warriors have been mentioned as a possible suitor as well, and the feeling could be mutual, according to reports.
