It’s 2024, and with the NBA trade deadline looming next month, rumors and speculations are heating up.
Keeping that in mind, the talk about Zach LaVine getting traded is picking up steam, with more teams rumored to be interested in the Chicago Bulls guard. The latest teams in the mix are the Sacramento Kings and the Golden State Warriors.
The Kings have continued their strong performance from last season, maintaining their momentum in the current NBA season led by De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. The team is doing well, but they’re still in the market for a player who can turn them into championship contenders.
Like the Kings, the Warriors also need help. They’re struggling this season and currently hold the 10th seed in the Western Conference. Some key players are finding it tough, making the Warriors potential buyers in the trade market.
Chicago Sun-Times Bulls reporter Joe Cowley shared his insights about these two teams’ interest in a LaVine trade.
“Keep an eye on Sacramento and Golden State as they battle with inconsistency and tough roster decisions, and then there’s always the unforeseen injury that could happen to a team with deep playoff aspirations. In other words, a quiet market today could become very loud tomorrow or in the upcoming weeks.”
