It further goes on to read: "LaVine is viewed by some within the organization as the safer option. At 29, he’s five and a half years younger and some $6 million cheaper than Butler this season, though his contract extends longer and he’s had some recent health concerns. There are risks all over the board."

Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine has been the subject of trade rumors since last year. But he still finds himself with the Bulls halfway into the 2024-2025 season.
