The Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls remain involved in NBA trade rumors.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls are two teams involved in several NBA trade rumors as the transaction period heats up. For Los Angeles, its 16-13 record entering Christmas is underwhelming relative to the championship aspirations that come with any LeBron James team.
As for the Bulls, it was always the expectation that moves would be made ahead of this trade deadline. Amid a rebuild, Chicago still has star players like Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic who could interest contenders. Are the Lakers a possible destination for LaVine? Per a recent report, not if a certain player is demanded by Chicago.

While LaVine is unquestionably a better player than Reaves, he is in the third season of a five-year, $215 million contract. The 26-year-old Reaves is in the second season of a four-year, $53.8 million deal.
