Sports Warm Winter Creative Season Lakers reporter Jovan Buha recently revealed an important message when talking about a potential trade between the Lakers and the Bulls: Lakers star LeBron James has always been very fond of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. What's even more interesting is that LaVine and James are also clients of the same agency, Klutch Sports Agency.
For the Lakers, the news came as no surprise. As one of the top players in the NBA today, James' influence and voice are unquestionable. Every choice and every remark he made was enough to attract widespread attention from fans and **. And LaVine and DeRozan, as the stars of the Bulls, have both strength and talent, and they are high-profile players in the league.
LaVine is averaging 21 points per game this season while shooting 44 percent from the field. His scoring ability and shooting skills are top-notch in the league. More importantly, LaVine also has excellent physical attributes and defensive ability, which allows him to perform well on both ends of the floor. And his contract is quite tempting, with 1 more in the next three years3.8 billion contracts, which undoubtedly adds to his appeal.
DeRozan is a contract-year player with an annual salary of $28.6 million. Although his contract is about to expire, he has been outstanding this season. DeRozan is known for his mid-range shooting and breakaways, and is a skilled shooting guard. He has always been passionate in his games and is an integral part of the Bulls.
If the Lakers are serious about making a trade with the Bulls, both LaVine and DeRozan are very attractive options. But it also requires the Lakers to take into account the player's contract situation and the team's salary structure in their future plans. After all, the Lakers already have a good group of players, and it will be a huge challenge to balance the team's salary and roster depth.
Overall, James' penchant for LaVine and DeRozan undoubtedly adds some possibilities to the Lakers' potential trade with the Bulls. But the final decision also needs to take into account the overall plan and future development of the team. Regardless of the outcome, we expect the Lakers to be even stronger and more competitive in the coming season.
