\"Los<\/p>\n

The Chicago Bulls have surprised many fans this season, sitting in 10th place in the East with an 18-20 record that is holding them near playoff position.<\/p>\n

Carrying the load in Chicago has been two-time All-Star Zach LaVine, who has turned it up a notch recently. After playing just 25 games last season and being counted out by many franchises during offseason trade talks, LaVine has taken his game to the next level.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old guard is averaging 23.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game this season with impressive 51.8\/44.4\/80.8 shooting splits, and has scored 30+ in five consecutive games.<\/p>\n

LaVine is making many franchises regret passing on him when his trade value was at an all-time low in the offseason, especially teams lacking an elite perimeter shot-creator.<\/p>\n

One of the teams that emerged in trade talks was the LA Lakers, and a recent report from\u00a0Chicago Sun-Times’ Joe Cowley<\/a>\u00a0suggests that a potential deal was closer than many expected.<\/p>\n

“A source also said that there was early-season talk about LaVine and the Lakers, but the puzzle didn\u2019t have the right pieces at the time,” Cowley writes. “With Los Angeles moving the D\u2019Angelo Russell contract a few weeks ago for Dorian Finney-Smith, the puzzle was all but thrown in the garbage.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, the Lakers opted to ship D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton, but adding LaVine to that LA roster could have been the better move for the championship-minded franchise.<\/p>\n

LaVine’s value has skyrocketed since the offseason, making any trade less likely unless a team becomes very desperate ahead of February’s deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
