As trade speculation continues to heat up around Bulls star Zach LaVine, the miami heat are being mentioned as one of the few teams with enough to gain to make his pursuit worthwhile. According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Lakers are legitimately interested in a deal with the Bulls for one (or all) of three players: Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, and veteran swingman DeMar DeRozan.
“The miami heat ’ interest in LaVine is real — at the right price,” Buha wrote. “However, LaVine’s potential availability also hints at the possibility of a fire sale in Chicago, with the organization seemingly looking to finally pivot away from its longstanding mediocrity. If additional Bulls players become available, the miami heat would also have interest in DeMar DeRozan and/or former miami heat Alex Caruso, according to multiple team sources.
