The Chicago Bulls are dealing with a lot of drama lately. Despite being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, they still find themselves all over the news.

That is thanks to the looming decision Zach LaVine has to make this offseason.

LaVine will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career this summer. And while many assumed he would be re-signing with the Bulls just a few months ago, that’s not a certain thing anymore.

KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reported that LaVine re-signing with the Bulls is “no longer is considered the slam dunk it once was.” This and a flurry of other rumors have caused panic amongst Bulls fans.

But it all started with what LaVine said at media day. Essentially, the two-time All-Star guard insinuated that he plans to head into free agency “open-minded,” which isn’t exactly what the city of Chicago wanted to hear.

In turn with the reports, multiple teams have been brought up as potential destinations. These teams include the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers, and Atlanta Hawks, just to name a few.

If LaVine does decide to leave, it would leave the Bulls in a sticky situation. They would have enough talent to be respectable, but it would take them another step back from true contention.

However, if they can complete a sign-and-trade, then at least they’d be getting something in return for their two-time All-Star. So that brings us here.

What are three LaVine sign-and-trades that would help save the Bulls?
