Zach LaVine Trade Rumors Continue Amid Strong Performance

Despite ongoing trade rumors and a hefty contract, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine remains focused on his game, contributing significantly to recent team victories.

Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls guard, has been the subject of trade rumors for months, but he's not letting the rumors detract from his mission at hand.
ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst stated that there's a 0% chance of the Lakers trading for Zach LaVine.
LaVine's contract is the biggest hurdle the Bulls face. He is in the second yard of a five-year $215M deal, with an average annual salary of $43M.
Nine weeks have passed since Zach LaVine first made it clear he’s open to a trade. Yet less than four weeks until this trade window closes, the Bulls appear no closer to a blockbuster deal involving the two-time All-Star guard.
Chicago has gone 4-1 since LaVine returned to the lineup Jan. 5 after missing 17 games with a foot injury. He has also been very effective over this stretch, averaging 16.8 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
