“Zach LaVine really picking Trae Young over LeBron James”: NBA Twitter reacts as the Atlanta Hawks have been mentioned as a “potential destination” for the Bulls guard

According to NBA insiders, the Atlanta Hawks have been mentioned as a “potential destination” for Zach LaVine.

After a mediocre 3-season stint with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Zach LaVine immediately stepped up his game when acquired by the Chicago Bulls back in 2017. Since then, the high-leaping guard has been immensely making huge strides on the hardwood.

In the 5 years that he has been the Bulls’ go-to guy, LaVine has managed to average a solid 24.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.4 assists, emerge as one of the best three-point shooters in the league and get selected to the All-Star Game twice.

One of the best guards in the association, LaVine is surely going to be demanding a much-deserving supermax contract as he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Four teams have already been linked to acquiring this summer – Lakers, Mavericks, Hawks, and Trail Blazers. And according to multiple league sources, Trae Young and co. are the “potential destination” to land the combo-guard.
