Last season, the Chicago Bulls finally offloaded 30-year-old Zach LaVine. After years of trade speculation, the Bulls finally pulled the trigger, sending LaVine to the Sacramento Kings following De'Aaron Fox's trade request.
With Fox routed to his preferred destination—the San Antonio Spurs—LaVine landed in Sacramento as both a cost-cutting move for Chicago and a replacement for the departed Fox. In return, the Bulls netted a trio of role players: Zach Collins and Tre Jones from San Antonio, and Kevin Huerter from Sacramento.

The Bulls also regained control of their 2025 first-round pick in the deal.
