The Miami Heat officially finalize the trade with the Chicago Bulls to acquire Zion Williamson in a three-team blockbuster deal.
Zion Williamson might envision himself playing for the Chicago Bulls in the event that Zach LaVine is acquired by the Miami Heat.
There is a lot of conjecture in the NBA trade market regarding players that the Chicago Bulls might trade, but what if they instead target another superstar who might want to play for them? The Bulls may attempt to trade Zach LaVine, who is supposedly available on the trade market, for a future cornerstone who is a member of the New Orleans Pelicans.
Given Zion Williamson’s recent video in which he discussed a potential future with the Bulls, it would be interesting to examine the ways in which a trade could occur in the NBA of today. Finding a trade that would benefit all parties is difficult, but Zach LaVine could be acquired by the Miami Heat, allowing this deal to go through.
With a plethora of draft picks and important young players at his disposal, Zion may be the ideal candidate for the Pelicans front office to let go of him now that he appears healthy and is performing well on the court. The Bulls receive their first star since Jimmy Butler, while the Heat add a legitimate scorer and a versatile big man.
