The Chicago Bulls could trade Zach LaVine to the Memphis Grizzlies

One of the brightest young stars who came up and onto the scene last year was young guard Desmond Bane. However, it was clear in the postseason that the Memphis Grizzlies needed a bigger star next to Ja Morant if they were to make any noise deep into the playoffs.

In this trade, the Grizzlies end up making a move for LaVine, who immediately makes that back court one of the most lethal in all of the league.

The Bulls will get Bane in this deal, who averaged over 18 points per game last year as a sophomore. Bane is a phenomenal three-point shooter and shot over 43 percent from deep last year.

He is also a threat to drive to the basket as well, which the Bulls can appreciate after giving up a player like LaVine.

In this trade, the Bulls will also get veteran center Steven Adams, who is still a nice presence off the bench. Adams has always been a physical, nasty presence that the Bulls would appreciate to have in relief of Nikola Vucevic.

The Bulls also get a first rounder From Memphis.
