The trade market is heating up. With eight days remaining until the February 6 deadline, trade chatter is spreading like wildfire. The biggest looming domino to fall, Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, was recently suspended a third time and will undoubtedly be departing South Beach in the coming days.

The Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, Philadelphia 76ers, and Golden State Warriors have all emerged as serious suitors for the 35-year-old Butler. Besides the interest in Butler, what two of these teams have in common is they have also shown admiration for a Chicago Bull swingman. The Suns and Warriors have expressed interest in Zach LaVine.

The difference between the squads is that the Warriors are far more viable of a suitor. Phoenix’s only realistic pathway of acquiring LaVine is sending a $50 million man, Bradley Beal, to Chicago or elsewhere as part of a multi-team trade. The Suns are notoriously cap-strapped, possessing the NBA’s second-highest payroll.

LaVine’s immediate future in Chicago is uncertain amid trade rumors

Golden State, on the other hand, has much more cap flexibility and tradable assets. Besides Steph Curry’s $55 million salary, the Warriors’ contracts are all over the place—ranging from minimum to numerous contracts in the $7-10 million range, to Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins’ $25ish million pacts.

Furthermore, Golden State’s interest level in LaVine has now reportedly rivaled that of Butler’s. Those in the Warriors’ organization have favored LaVine’s fit as opposed to Butler’s. First and foremost, the Miami star’s recent behavior has been much-maligned. Second, at 35 years old, Butler is six years older than LaVine—increasing the risk of sending out multiple players in exchange for a veteran who may not suit up for much longer. While the five-time All-NBA Defender is a more complete player than LaVine, he’s also the riskier addition.

Coincidentally, as Golden State’s interest begins to pique, LaVine is set to miss Chicago’s upcoming games. It’s by no means a coincidence that the Bulls are holding the two-time All-Star out of the lineup in hopes of finding a potential trade partner. LaVine’s absence is solely because he’s expected his wife to give birth to his third child.

However, with LaVine set to miss the Bulls’ next three contests, there’s a possibility that he’s played his last game in the Windy City. The athletic swingman has made it known that he prefers to remain in Chicago. Nonetheless, if the asking price is right, expect the Bulls to field any offers for their leading scorer.

Chicago has notably struggled in recent seasons, upping the ante when considering a full-on rebuild. Additionally, LaVine, as well as starting center Nikola Vucevic, have been named as probable trade candidates—both linked to Golden State. With a pressing need to rebuild and the trade deadline almost less than a week away, it’s possible LaVine’s last appearance as a Bull was his 21-point effort in a resounding victory against the Denver Nuggets.
