The Chicago Bulls’ guard and forward Zach LaVine, who was being linked with the Brooklyn Nets, might have to find a different destination. Recent rumors suggest that the Nets are not interested in acquiring the 28-year-old anymore. The Bulls have not found success with their strategy of acquiring one veteran after another. The individual brilliance of the player has failed to take them closer to the memory, and their struggle has yet to find an end.
All those trades have filled their roster with multiple veterans, but the Bulls might have decided to start from scratch now. Most of their veterans, such as DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso, and LaVine, are linked with many teams. It is believed that the Bulls would send their stars to a team that offers them the best package. The Nets had shown interest in Zach in the past, but right now, they have no intentions of acquiring him. Why a sudden change of plans? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Chicago Bulls and the Brooklyn Nets involving Zach LaVine.

Why would the Bulls like to trade off Zach LaVine?
The Bulls haven’t started this season on a high. They were already planning to rebuild, and their 4-8 start is likely to push them to do it as soon as possible. They are likely to get a good return if they trade the player now, which might not be the case later.

Why did the Nets refuse to sign Zach LaVine?
The Nets have enough capital to land a lot of stars, but they are inclined to keep Mikal Bridges. They feel that he will attract quality players to the Nets. They have a talented roster and might try signing someone else to boost their chances for a title.
