Bulls Seeking Trade for LaVine Amid Strained Relationships, But Finding Few Options
- Karnisovas hoping to trade LaVine by Jan 15 to evaluate new-look Bulls before trade deadline, but market uncooperative so far
- LaVine and Klutch Sports want him traded to the Lakers, but no attractive package has materialized
- Relationship between LaVine and coach Billy Donovan is broken beyond repair from LaVine's perspective
- If Karnisovas trades LaVine and gets good return, it could help Bulls make playoff push and allow contract extension talks with DeRozan
- Worst case is LaVine leaves this summer as free agent and Bulls get nothing in return
