📝 Video Description:
Including this season, LaVine has three years remaining on the $215 million max contract he signed in 2022. If LaVine is moved, the Bulls would owe him 15% of his remaining salary as a trade bonus. In the scenario where LaVine is traded Feb. 6, the $9.4 million bonus is spread evenly over his salary this season and in 2025-26. If the bonus is not waived, his cap hit in 2025-26 would be $51 million. (This season, his cap hit is $43 million.)
A season ago, the combination of $160 million remaining on his contract, uneven production on the court and eventual season-ending right foot surgery zapped the trade market for LaVine. The optics have changed slightly since.
LaVine still has an average salary of $43 million but with one fewer year, and durability concerns have subsided for now. LaVine is on pace to play the third-most games since he entered the NBA in 2014, having missed only three games in early November with a right adductor strain.
And though the Bulls are not contending for a top seed in the East, their offense is averaging 117.9 points per 100 possessions with LaVine on the court, which would be fourth in the league. A big factor is LaVine shooting 50.6% from the field and a career-high 43.2% on 3-pointers.
LaVine is owed less money, and he has showcased improved health and production. Does that make him a likely candidate to get traded prior to Feb. 6? Not exactly, according to a West general manager.
“If we were operating under the 2017 CBA and there were no apron rules, I could make a case to my owner on LaVine”, one team told ESPN. “But his salary boxes you into a corner on how we can add to the roster.”
