Zach LaVine – trade target

Another one of the most underrated two-way players in the league is Zach LaVine. And because of how much the Chicago Bulls have struggled over the last year and a half (after making the big pivot toward a win-now franchise), there’s a chance that LaVine could grow weary of the constant losing. If that does end up being the case, LaVine could end up being quite the wanted star around the league.

LaVine is only 28 years old and is coming off a season in which he averaged 25 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 49 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent shooting from 3-point range. Those are really good numbers. Add that to the fact that he has the ability to be a great defender on the other end, and you can see why the Heat should be interested if he makes a mess of his situation this offseason.

Adding LaVine to Jimmy and Bam could make this Heat team one of the most dangerous in the East. And it would be a move that could invigorate the rest of this franchise too.
