The Lakers aren’t a very attractive destination after last season, but some big names in the league would still want to play there. This is particularly the case of a star from the East who sent them a big message… unsurprisingly, the fans were on fire following that.
If his playoffs were greatly disrupted by injuries, Zach LaVine delivered a season of good quality on the side of the Bulls. More than 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on average, a satisfactory address (39% from afar): the back has confirmed that he has the potential to shine in a winning team. However, that probably won’t be the case with Chicago anymore, as he’s been listed as a starter for a while. The Lakers as well as Dallas would then be very hot to acquire his servicesdespite doubts about his health.
His knees are indeed questionable, especially for a player known for his athletic qualities. Despite this, his rating should remain high and the interested party knows it perfectly. He has also decided to spice up his file a little recently, at the microphone of TMZ Sports. As he walked to his vehicle, reporters asked him to comment on the Lakers. What push him to drop the following sentence:
Zach LaVine hot about playing for the Lakers?
I’ve always been a Lakers fan.
We had already mentioned the interest of the Purples and Golds for him, but it is also rumored that ZLV would like to join the City of Angels. His statement is therefore not insignificant and we could see there the sign that he would give his preference to the Californian franchise, this offseason. Of course, the sequence did not go unnoticed by fans of LeBron James and consorts, and it was also quite well received by the latter, who would be delighted to see him join them:

Welcome in the team. The 18th Champion Banner is ours!
Portland would also be very hot to bring him in, but Zach LaVine seems to favor the Lakers in view of a possible departure from the Bulls. It remains to be seen how that could be done, given the Angelinos’ complicated financial situation.
