Zach LaVine interested in joining De'Aaron Fox in Sacramento?
For all the public focus on the prospect of James and Davis teaming up with Zach LaVine with the Lakers, the overlooked part is that Kings star De’Aaron Fox is a major priority for Klutch Sports these days as well. Per league sources, LaVine would be very amenable to a Sacramento move that would make him Fox’s backcourt mate.

Zach LaVine is “very amenable” to accepting a trade to the Kings, per @sam_amick (theathletic.com/5145359/2023/1…).

More on this storyline
When that familiar storyline resurfaced last week about the Bulls’ Zach LaVine, with the Chicago Sun-Times reporting that “LaVine and his representation obviously want (the Lakers) because of the Klutch Sports connection,” Rich Paul decided to push back on the widely held premise. “It’s not one team,” Paul told The Athletic regarding the LaVine situation. “I don’t have a specific destination for Zach. I want what’s best for Zach and his family. When you have a guy playing the game, you want him to be able to play the game happy, whether that’s in Chicago or somewhere else.” -via The Athletic / December 18, 2023
As it relates to LaVine, who hasn’t played since Nov. 28 because of inflammation in his right foot and is expected to miss several more weeks, Paul said it remains to be seen if he’ll be on the move. “In the event the Bulls decide they would like to go a different direction with the team, and it involves Zach, then I’m sure we’ll have conversations to get clarity on what’s best for both sides,” Paul said. “Until then, the goal is to get healthy and return ready to go.” -via The Athletic / December 18, 2023
Keith Pompey: The Chicago Bulls’ Alex Caruso (sprained left ankle) is questionable and Torrey Craig is doubtful (sore right heel) for tonight’s game against the Sixers at the Wells Fargo Center.
