Zach LaVine
Some free agency outcomes are hard to predict, but LaVine’s feels like something the star is already familiar with: a slam dunk.
By all accounts, LaVine is content in the Windy City. He’s on record as wanting to stay, and realistically, why wouldn’t he?
The organization has signaled an intention to win, trading for Nikola Vucevic and Lonzo Ball while signing DeMar DeRozan. They may have slightly underwhelmed this season, assuming they fail to advance past the Bucks. Still, a healthy Patrick Williams and/or some offseason additions could land this group among the league’s true contenders.
We can’t say for sure that LaVine is staying put. Even slam dunks can miss. Still, we wouldn’t put our money on LaVine taking residence anywhere but Chicago during the 2022-23 season.

The Bulls have invested too much in winning to see him walk, and his status in the organization is too prominent for him to give up.
