#1 Chicago Bulls
Zach LaVine should really have no reason to leave the Bulls in the offseason and the Bulls should really have no reason to not offer LaVine the maximum amount of money they can.
Maybe Chicago will have a long-term cap issue on their hands, but overall, LaVine is the type of All-Star talent the Bulls cannot afford to get rid of right now, especially given how crowded the Eastern Conference is.
The Bulls’ championship window is small as it is right now and while they have had an incredible season, they are currently tied with the Toronto Raptors for the 5-seed in the Eastern Conference with limited time remaining this season.
Losing Zach LaVine would be devastating for the Bulls and since joining the franchise ahead of the 2017-18 season, LaVine truly has been the face of the Chicago Bulls.

He has helped this organization get back to being a playoff contender and while he has not said anything about what the future holds for him in free agency, all indications point to Zach LaVine wanting to remain a Chicago Bull for a long-time to come.
It would come as a shock to many to see either LaVine or the Bulls turn the other way and move on from one another in the offseason.
