The Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls are two teams attempting to rebuild. For one team, it could be done quickly if they made a deal for another superstar player. Could Zach LaVine possibly end up heading to the Hornets to team up with Gordon Hayward and LaMelo Ball?
Charlotte was busy during the offseason. They used the third overall pick in the draft on Ball to put in the back-court along with Terry Rozier and Devonte Graham. They signed Hayward to a four-year deal worth $120 million. It is clear that the Hornets want to rebuild quickly and this trade would point them in the right direction.
LaVine has been featured in trade rumors throughout the offseason. Chicago could look to trade either LaVine or Lauri Markannen before the season begins. This would land them a huge return to team up with Coby White and Patrick Williams, who they selected with the fourth overall pick in the draft.
Heading into the regular season, teams will still have a chance to make some blockbuster deals. This is one that could eventually happen as we prepare for the regular season.
Let’s dive in and take a look at a potential trade that would send Zach LaVine from the Bulls to the Hornets to play alongside LaMelo Ball and Gordon Hayward.
