What would the Chicago Bulls do if the 2024 NBA trade deadline were today?

What would the Chicago Bulls do if the 2024 NBA trade deadline were today? Per one NBA analyst, not force a trade of Zach LaVine. According to Bleacher Report’s Zach LaVine, if the Feb. 8 deadline to make moves for the league’s 2023-24 season were here today, Chicago should avoid “the mistake of becoming buyers at the trade deadline.”

“This is a core that simply isn’t going anywhere together, even with Zach LaVine returning from a foot injury,” writes the B/R analyst. “While Chicago’s first priority should be to get a return on DeMar DeRozan before he becomes a free agent this summer, there’s no rush to trade LaVine if the right deal isn’t out there.”

“If Chicago doesn’t get a quality pick or young player with All-Star upside, there’s no reason to trade the 28-year-old now while his stock is low coming off an injury,” adds Swartz.

“If DeRozan is moved and LaVine gets the ball more over the final few months of the season, we could see his scoring numbers pop once again.”
