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."
LaVine is in the third season of his five-year, $215 million contract with the Bulls, which makes acquiring him extremely complicated. This is especially the case if Golden State wants to keep Wiggins, the 2022 NBA All-Star who is averaging 17.4 points in 41 games this season.
The Chicago Bulls head to Chase Center to face the Golden State Warriors in a non-conference matchup. The Bulls are 19-25, which puts them in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors are 21-22, which puts them in 11th place in the Western Conference.
After a shocking win against the LA Clippers on Monday, the Chicago Bulls have a chance to go on a winning streak against the reeling Warriors on Thursday night
Thursday marked the seven-year anniversary of the Kansas City Chiefs trading Alex Smith to make Patrick Mahomes their starting quarterback. The rest, as they say, has been history. The Chiefs are making an unprecedented fifth Super Bowl appearance in six seasons, and Mahomes is the first QB in history to make five trips before turning 30.
The NBA's trade deadline is approaching and analysts believe the Bulls will be big sellers. But recent history says that might not be true. The big picture: The Bulls are languishing toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings yet again this season after trading star DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso in the offseason.
Acquired at the NBA trade deadline, PJ Washington helped turn the Mavericks' season around last year. Here are three candidates this year.
The Hawks have a bottom-10 offense, having seen the league’s third-biggest drop in points scored per 100 possessions. Their February schedule offers them just one game (the fewest in the league) against a team — Washington — that currently ranks in the bottom 10 defensively.
The reigning rookie of the year is an NBA All-Star for the first time, with the 21-year-old from France one of the 14 players announced Thursday night as members of the reserve pool for the midseason exhibition that will take place Feb. 16 at the home of the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.
