While waiting for the resumption, we are closely following the future of Ben Simmons, who could soon pack his bags. But the future of an All-Star is also talked about a lot, and he has just spoken about it. Competition is prevented.
While fans are still hoping for a few moves before the season resumes, Ben Simmons is getting a lot of talk with the Sixers. His trade should arrive soon, unless his soap opera does not resemble that of James Harden with the Rockets.
However, it is not just the Australian who is on the start. That big name could change the franchise soon, which should undoubtedly attract contenders for the title. In all this, we can also evoke the future of Zach LaVine, who is now based in Chicago.
Over the years, the full-back has managed to advance his game. He has become a very good striker, to the point of averaging over 27 points last year. Only problem ? His defense, which should not prevent him from getting a very good contract in the near future. Good thing, he will soon be a free agent, in the summer of 2022 to be precise.
Will he extend to the Bulls, or potentially join a competitor? According to journalist David Kaplan at ESPN, the future looks very bright:
He told a lot of people I know, “If the Bulls want to keep me, I’m not going anywhere. I’m the first to arrive, I want to be a part of it all. “
We must therefore believe that LaVine will stay, at least if the Bulls offer him a big contract. Obviously, this will be the maximum, which should not bother the leaders. Be careful, however, we expect a great season from the rear. But as he recently confided, he sees himself staying:
I let my agent handle it all. As long as he concludes something, I’ll be happy. I want to be with the Bulls even if you don’t want to get too involved. You have to manage the salary cap, the free agency and I understand the impact of an extension. I want the team to be good, but also to be taken care of. I think I had a good level here, I want to stay for the long term and I think I deserve it all. We’ll see that in due course, even if it’s next year. We will see.
Without corrupting the collective level, Zach LaVine hopes to hit a big contract, which he is convinced to deserve. Chaining the points is one thing, but winning your team is another. For the former Wolves, this is the stake of the season. It’s up to him to make his talent speak.
