The Chicago Bulls guard and forward Zach LaVine is likely to get acquired by the Sacramento Kings in the coming days. The Bulls have been looking for suitors for the 28-year-old for a while now. The Los Angeles Lakers, the Miami Heat, and the Philadelphia Sixers have shown interest in the Bulls’ guard. The Bulls might part ways with their other veterans as well if this trade goes through. But since Zach doesn’t control where he gets traded, the Bulls would try to send him to the team that gives the best return package.
The Kings are past their struggles; they made it to the playoffs last season after waiting for 16 long years. Despite the first-round exit, they would be fired up this season. They would be making a move for a star player. Zach is averaging 22.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting 34.4 percent from beyond the arc. The Kings might take some assistance from the Bulls’ guard, should they acquire him? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Sacramento Kings and the Chicago Bulls involving Zach LaVine.

Why would the Kings like to sign Zach LaVine?
The Kings have a talented roster but they want to better their performance from the last season. They have a great offense so in this deal, they are acquiring another scoring guard. Rather than trying hard to prevent opposition from scoring, they would be looking to score more than the other team can score.
