Chicago Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas has "floated as many as 15 proposals" centered around guard Zach LaVine, according to NBC Sports Chicago's K.C. Johnson.

Johnson cited the Sacramento Kings, Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers as teams to whom Karnišovas reached out. Johnson later added the Utah Jazz as a team involved in trade talks.

Answering a fan question about the two-time All-Star's future, Johnson wrote on May 31 how "this is like a relationship that has run its course" and that "the desire from both sides to make a change has grown."

To that end, Chicago's asking price for LaVine has reportedly "dropped significantly." How much that will help to facilitate a trade remains to be seen.

Last September, Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer reported "there just doesn't seem to be a robust market for LaVine's services," and that remained the case months into the season.

Then the 29-year-old underwent season-ending foot surgery in February, further eroding his trade value.

In his seven years with the Bulls, LaVine has averaged 24.2 points on 47.1 percent shooting, including 38.3 percent on three-pointers. He'd potentially be a dynamic secondary scorer on a playoff contender.

The trouble is, he's owed $138 million over the next three seasons, assuming he picks up his 2026-27 option, and that's a lot of money when he's arguably not a max player in terms of what he brings to the court.

In addition, LaVine's foot surgery played into the existing concerns over his durability. He has exceeded 70-plus games played just once since 2015-16.

A lot of the Zach LaVine narratives that have felt pretty unfair throughout his career are unfortunately proving true this year

The Bulls can probably find a taker for the 6'5" guard if they're resigned to this being a salary dump rather than something that can meaningfully improve the roster in the short term.

Based on Johnson's newest report, other teams are well aware of how desperate the front office is to move on, though.
