Top 3 landing spots for Zach LaVine this offseason: 1. San Antonio Spurs

For the sake of intrigue, the Chicago Bulls couldn’t rank number one on this list. While they may be the most likely landing spot for Zach LaVine, the San Antonio Spurs would be the most fun (and maybe the best).

Dejounte Murray already began the recruiting process when he posted a (now deleted) tweet that pictured LaVine in a Spurs jersey. The pair are long-time friends, as they both grew up in Washington.

San Antonio has built up a great young core that managed to make an appearance in the Play-In Tournament this season. Murray even made his first All-Star Game.

With Murray, Keldon Johnson, Jakob Poeltl, and others, the Spurs are a young team on the rise. Adding LaVine to that core could push them over the hump and make them a legitimate playoff team.

As great as Murray is, the Spurs are lacking a go-to scorer. Johnson has shown flashes, as have Murray and Devin Vassell (at times), but LaVine would give them a legitimate 25-point per game scorer.

The Spurs are a solid defensive team led by one of the greatest coaches of all time, Gregg Popovich. LaVine’s offense would help round out their roster.

They have enough cap space to make a move happen, so it would just be up to LaVine whether he wants to leave Chicago. But if he does, the Spurs would be an amazing choice.
