Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls has been playing wonderful basketball lately, scoring more than 30 points in 3 of his last 4 games.
For the season, the Bulls star has been posting 23.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists on 47% from the field and 39.9% from the three-point line.
The Bulls are not so hot and attempting to find their footing but LaVine has obviously discovered his.

His name has been attached to multiple trade rumors for a long time now.
Multiple teams have seemingly wanted the two-time All-Star, and now a new one has been added to the list.
Mike Scotto is reporting that the Miami Heat are “certainly monitoring” LaVine’s availability.
The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks are also looking into getting LaVine if he comes up for grabs.
So, what are the chances of LaVine leaving for Miami or any other team in the next few weeks as the February 9 trade deadline approaches?
It would be surprising to see him leave the Bulls as he is doing so well currently.
At the same time, if the Bulls want the most bang for their buck when it comes to LaVine, there would be no better time to move him.
He is healthy now and his knee seems healed and he is producing some of the best numbers of his career – they could receive a huge return for him in any deal.
The Heat have a decent amount of money to spend since they didn’t make many moves during the offseason, so they could cover his salary and also offer compelling trade assets.
The Bulls wouldn’t say goodbye to LaVine for just anything, especially with the output he’s had lately.
