Chicago Bulls: 3 stars to target if Zach LaVine is traded
Potential trade targets for the Chicago Bulls to pursue for Zach LaVine: Zion Williamson
While landing the former Duke Blue Devils freshman sensation and New Orleans Pelicans star forward Zion Williamson might not be the most impactful move of any of the names on this list right away, it would be the most appealing over the long term. What better could Karnisovas and the Bulls do than trading for Zion?
The fellow first-time All-Star selection Zion is part of a star forward duo that the Pelicans are building around with the former Los Angeles Laker and fellow Blue Devil Brandon Ingram. But that duo has yet to really lead to any success for the Pelicans in the last two seasons.
It definitely wouldn’t be the Pelicans that would be the reason why Zion is traded. That would be a choice for Zion to want to leave for greener pastures. And if a Zion trade were to happen with the Bulls, the asking price would likely be enormous.
The conversation would have to start with LaVine, and who knows where it would end. But if Zion were on the table, there’s no way that Karnisovas and the Bulls should not be ready for that conversation.

It was a discussion to be had this offseason that Zion wasn’t too happy with the situation in NOLA. Just one year after Stan Van Gundy was hired as head coach, the Pelicans already went another route. The last two systems built around Zion and Ingram have not worked out, and that could wear on him.
