After years of rumors, the Chicago Bulls have officially traded Zach LaVine.
One day after the Luka Doncic blockbuster deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA has another major move on their hands. De’Aaron Fox is headed to the San Antonio Spurs in a multi-team trade that will also send Zach LaVine back to Sacramento, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Here are the full trade details via Charania:
Bulls Receive: Tre Jones, Zach Collins, Kevin Huerter, and full rights to their 2025 first-round pickSpurs Receive: De’Aaron Fox, Jordan McLaughlinKings Receive: Zach LaVine, Sidy Cissoko, three first-round picks, three second-round picks
LaVine’s time with the Bulls officially comes to an end after eight seasons with the franchise. He will finish his time in Chicago averaging 24.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists over his 416 games played. The trade is expected to reunite LaVine with former teammate DeMar DeRozan, who signed with the Kings this offseason on a three-year deal worth $73.9 million.

After weeks of LaVine being linked to teams like the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, and Phoenix Suns, the Sacramento Kings are the team to swoop in and land the 29-year-old scorer. For what it’s worth, LaVine has been linked to the Kings this offseason as a potential trade target, and he also once signed an offer sheet with the franchise before the Bulls matched in 2018.
On the one hand, the deal finally signifies a much-needed change of direction for the Chicago Bulls. They add several more young players, as well as confirm that they will hold onto their 2025 first-round pick in a deep draft class. The clear goal now is to prioritize lottery position and likely begin a full-fledged rebuild. The Chicago Sun-Time’s Joe Cowley made clear already that the front office is not done.
On the other hand, LaVine has put together a career year that has seen him average 24.0 points on a career-high 51.1 percent shooting from the field and 44.6 percent shooting from downtown. Considering they were already in a position to keep their current first-round pick (which was top 10 protected) at 21-29 makes this trade return feel rather underwhelming. They technically did not add any more future draft capital after failing to do so in offseason deals for either DeMar DeRozan or Alex Caruso.
