The Chicago Bulls are reportedly considering a major shakeup, and the Sixers could be poised to take advantage.
On Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that teams are “probing the availability” of Bulls guard Zach LaVine, and “there’s been increased openness from the organization and player about exploring a trade.” Although Charania said the Sixers are among the teams “expected to have a level of interest” in LaVine—along with the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers—a few local sources weren’t as certain.
“It’s my understanding that the Sixers will look into this, but I’m told they are happy with the team is playing right now and would probably lean towards waiting until the trade deadline for a big trade to see if there are any needs or injury issues,” John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia tweeted Tuesday.
