If you haven’t been paying attention, Zach LaVine has been on a tear since the start of the new year. Since January 1st, he’s scored 30+ points in six straight games, including tonight’s performance: a 36-point, 10-rebound double-double, his second of the month. There have always been whispers questioning whether he’s worth his contract, but I believe he absolutely is. The Bulls are currently 10th in the East, and a Bulls rebuild anticipated, the question is: will LaVine be on the move? Personally, I think he should be.

One team that could make sense for LaVine is the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are clearly in need of another dynamic scorer, and rumors suggest they might be open to moving a young piece—Michael Porter Jr. This could be the perfect situation for both a rebuilding Bulls team and a Nuggets squad in search of another championship.

A potential trade package could look like this: Michael Porter Jr., Dario Saric, and two first-round picks in exchange for LaVine. The Bulls would get a young sharpshooter in Porter along with valuable draft capital, while the Nuggets would land a polished, three-level scorer in LaVine. In a stacked Western Conference, Denver needs another creator, and LaVine fits that bill. The only real question is how LaVine would adjust to playing with the ball in his hands less.

If the Nuggets do pull off this deal, they become a much more dangerous contender. Nikola Jokić is having yet another MVP-caliber season, but beyond him and Jamal Murray, who else can they rely on? LaVine could be the missing piece to help Denver get back to the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
