An NBA analyst, Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report, has proposed a trade that would see Zach LaVine move to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, and Kevon Looney. In this scenario, the Warriors would also receive Jevon Carter and a top-three protected 2026 first-round pick. The Chicago Bulls, eager to part ways with LaVine, have seen interest from both the Sacramento Kings and the Warriors, as reported by K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago.
LaVine’s 2023-24 season was cut short after just 25 games due to a right foot surgery in February. Despite this setback, LaVine’s career stats remain impressive, with averages of 20.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. The two-time All-Star is under contract with the Bulls through the 2025-26 season, earning $43 million next year.
Meanwhile, Wiggins, who has career beginnings with the Timberwolves like LaVine, posted 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game last season. The Warriors are actively looking to trade Wiggins, who is set to make $26.3 million next season. Previously, the Warriors also explored acquiring Paul George and faced roster changes with Klay Thompson signing with the Dallas Mavericks.
