Lakers’ LeBron James, Bulls’ Zach LaVine Trigger Wild Trade Rumors With Intriguing Postgame Gesture

LeBron James and Zach LaVine could become teammates sooner than expected. That’s what fans say following the most recent game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls. The Lakers have been linked to LaVine for a really long time and it seems like rumors will finally become reality.

LaVine doesn’t look like someone who is determined to stay with his team. He is a Klutch Sports client and this tiny detail could ease his way to Los Angeles. LeBron and Anthony Davis are also represented by Klutch Sports. Fun fact? LaVine spends his offseason in Los Angeles.

LeBron heard all the comments about LaVine’s interest in signing with the Lakers. Their little convo following the game was more than enough to fuel rumors.

LeBron has great connection with LaVine

The Lakers suffered a 124-108 loss to the Bulls. It was another loss in their column. This loss is a clear sign that the franchise could use a new addition. LaVine can be an excellent fit for the Lakers.

LaVine signed LeBron’s agency in 2021. His agent helped him sign a five-year deal with the Bulls. His agent can also land him a new deal with the purple and gold.

The Lakers will have to sacrifice some of their great players to get LaVine. Austin Reaves is mentioned as a potential trade target for the Bulls. Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka doesn’t even think of trading Reaves as he has become an excellent contributor for the team. However, the Bulls would want him if the Lakers do an attempt to get LaVine.

Reaves may not be the only player to leave LA. D’Angelo Russell will probably end on the trade block as well. He waived his no trade option and could be on his way out of the franchise sooner than expected.

LaVine is prone to injuries and this may be an issue for the Lakers. Let’s see what happens in the next few weeks.
