Zach LaVine is coming off a season where he only appeared in 25 games due to injury.

He finished with averages of 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per contest while shooting 45.2% from the field and 34.9% from the three-point range.

During the season, there had been speculation about LaVine potentially being traded.

On Sunday, Evan Sidery of Forbes and FanSided noted that the Bulls will likely look to move LaVine again this summer.

Via Sidery: "The Bulls will attempt to trade Zach LaVine this offseason, but his market appears to be severely limited.

Only one team reportedly showed interest in LaVine at the deadline, the Pistons, but they will likely pivot with GM Troy Weaver’s future with the organization seriously in doubt.

LaVine’s contract is viewed as an albatross with $138 million remaining over the next three years.

Chicago might have to attach an asset to get off LaVine at this rate."
