Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Zach LaVine
Chicago Bulls Receive: C/F Anthony Davis
Surely, you saw this coming. If you didn’t, your deductive reasoning skills could use some sharpening.
A simple Davis-for-LaVine swap would shock the NBA world. Arguably, it shouldn’t. There are plenty of reasons why this trade is a real possibility.
For starters, LaVine is rumored to be interested in joining LeBron James in Hollywood. However, the Los Angeles Lakers don’t have the cap space to sign him outright. By swapping Anthony Davis for him, they clear it.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls were heavily rumored to be a possible destination for Davis towards the end of his tenure with the New Orleans Pelicans. If he has an interest in playing in front of his hometown crowd, this could be interesting for the Bulls.
