Lakers keeping an eye on Zach LaVine situation
The Lakers are certainly keeping an eye trained toward the Bulls’ developments. A player like Zach LaVine would satisfy Los Angeles’ dreamiest returns for the two future first-round picks Rob Pelinka’s front office has left in its stable, although the murmured idea of flipping Russell Westbrook for Vucevic and DeRozan would appear a far more realistic outcome if Chicago does ultimately pivot from its postseason aspirations.

A layup and stepback jumper by Zach LaVine ties score 107-107, 4:33 to play.
DeMar DeRozan already has 8 points in the fourth quarter.
Another “clutch” opportunity for the Bulls (in which they’re 3-10 this season). – 9:52 PM

Incredible play by Alex Caruso. Sprinted to track down a pass — then, knowing he was too off-balance to go for a layup, threw it off the backboard for a Zach LaVine dunk pic.twitter.com/bOfpC0eSaO – 9:10 PM

Alex Caruso with the highlight of the game (month? season?) with a blind pass off the backboard to set up Zach LaVine for a dunk. Big grin from Zach as he jogs back. – 9:09 PM

Who do you think is ranked too high or too low? Ten of my disagreements:
Too low: Anfernee Simons, Franz Wagner, CJ McCollum, Tyrese Haliburton, Klay Thompson
Too high: Julius Randle, Evan Mobley, Zach LaVine, Bradley Beal, Trae Young nbarankings.theringer.com – 11:52 AM

More on this storyline
Chicago could also look to move LaVine (after Jan. 15), who re-signed on a five-year, $215.2 million contract this summer. His name hasn’t buzzed yet on the rumor mill, but Chicago could find willing suitors if it made the two-time All-Star available. -via Bleacher Report / December 12, 2022
Julia Poe: Zach LaVine said he will play tomorrow in Atlanta to close the latter half of the back-to-back. It certainly helped that he could sit out the final quarter of tonight’s blowout, but he insisted: “I was playing either way.” -via Twitter @byjuliapoe / December 11, 2022
Rob Schaefer: Asked Billy Donovan if he expects Zach LaVine to play both ends of B2B this weekend Summary: LaVine wants to play. Bulls medical still taking knee management day by day, will see how he feels after DAL. Bulls off Mon/Tue after ATL, so cause for optimism he’ll play both. But TBD -via Twitter @rob_schaef / December 9, 2022
