When it was revealed that the Chicago Bulls are open to the idea of trading away Zach LaVine, most analysts predicted that numerous teams would be jumping at the chance to acquire the two-time All-Star.
But, so far, LaVine remains in Chicago and no team has taken a serious run at him.
According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald via NBACentral, the Miami Heat are showing “no interest” in LaVine.
The Heat are just the latest franchise to take a pass on the Bulls star.
Although it is still very likely that someone will step forward and make a deal with the Bulls, it appears that there is no rush to make it happen.
There is no doubt that the 28-year-old LaVine is still a supremely talented basketball player, averaging 21.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.
The Bulls have championed LaVine for a very long and he has been a crucial part of the team’s roster.
But with DeMar DeRozan’s contract expiring, the Bulls are thinking of entering a rebuilding phase and would want to move LaVine from the team soon.
Chicago is currently the 13th team in the East, with a 5-11 record.
There is a chance that they hold onto LaVine and turn the season around, but it feels as if the writing is on the walls and his days playing for the Bulls are coming to an end.
But if more and more teams resist the temptation to sign LaVine, what options will the Bulls have?
