Bulls Have Maintained ‘Large Asking Price’ For Zach LaVine

The Chicago Bulls have received trade interest on Zach LaVine, but no team has been willing to meet their “large asking price,” sources tell Jamal Collier of ESPN.

LaVine is owed $129 million over the next three seasons and holds a $48.9 million player option for 26-27.

LaVine says being the subject of trade speculation has not bothered him.

“My camp isn’t putting them out,” LaVine said. “I committed to the Bulls when I signed my five-year deal. So until I’m not, I’m committed to the Bulls. I’ve always brought professionalism and consistent play, and that’s what I’ll continue to do.

“I love Chicago; I’ve always wanted to be in a place that wanted me, and Chicago showed me that. But obviously trade rumors are part of the business. Are they wanted? No. But I’m a grown man, I’ve been traded before. I know how to deal with them. You have to take it that way; it’s a business, so I don’t get too upset.”
