Zach LaVine would be an upgrade to the Utah Jazz backcourt, but doesn't come without risk.
This rumor may have legs, considering the Bulls just traded Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey, paired with rumblings that changes are coming since a disappointing 2023-24 season in Chicago. According to Johnson, the other franchises that were in the mix included the Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings, and Orlando Magic.
Acquiring LaVine would be a major acquisition for the Jazz and would put any thoughts that they'll be tanking the 2024-25 season to bed. However, it's a move that wouldn't come without some risk due to a history of being hit by the injury bug. Despite being 29 years of age, he's already had three surgeries under his belt, paired with participating in only 25 contests this last season.
If the Jazz did choose to trade for LaVine, it wouldn't require much due to his injury history and absorbent contract. Most likely, Jordan Clarkson and John Collins would be part of the equation to help match his salary, but not much after that. Also, with Lauri Markkanen's contract looming, having two max players on Utah's roster would mean adding a difference-maker through free agency would be unlikely.
