"According to Troy Jones and Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Denver Nuggets have taken a close look at the Chicago Bulls’ two-time All-Star. LaVine has reportedly become a major part of their recent conversations as they look to strengthen their core around superstar Nikola Jokic.
Here is what the two reporters shared:
“As a result, the Nuggets have either expressed interest in, or have had preliminary trade discussions on the following players: Chicago’s Zach Lavine, Washington’s Jordan Poole, Utah’s Jordan Clarkson, Atlanta’s De’Andre Hunter, Brooklyn’s Cam Johnson and Washington’s Jonas Valančiūnas.
League sources say the focus on LaVine in recent discussions is significant, with the Nuggets interested in the 29-year-old who is averaging 21.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists this season. LaVine, a two-time All-Star, is owed $43 million this season, $45.9 million next season and has a player option worth $48.9 million for the 2026-27 campaign.“
