There will be no Zach LaVine-to-Detroit trade now that LaVine has opted to undergo season-ending surgery on his left foot, but Bulls center Andre Drummond continues to generate considerable interest from various playoff-bound teams looking to add a proven center to the roster.

The Pistons are likely moving on from Zach Lavine. What now?
Divided the roster into tiers, from least to most-likely to be traded this week. + some intel on what they’re looking for in the trade market

Call me a skeptic, but I have a hard time believing the Pistons were ready to take on LaVine’s contract for Bogdanovic and Harris (essentially two expiring deals). #Bulls – 9:22 PM

This Zach LaVine news is horrible for the Bulls. Not so much for this season because he was a non-factor, but for the foreseeable future unless this front office can now drastically pivot in the next 5 days.

Re: Zach LaVine: He’s previously mentioned the area of concern involved his 5th metatarsal. Surgery to issues in this bone are relatively common in the NBA. Multiple players, including Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson, & Aaron Gordon have missed time with 5th metatarsal injuries. – 5:15 PM

More on this storyline
The Bulls and Pistons had engaged on trade talks centered on LaVine, league sources had previously confirmed. One of the latest iterations, league sources said, focused on Bojan Bogdanovic and Joe Harris, although one source indicated no deal was imminent. It’s unknown if draft capital landed in that proposal. -via NBC Sports Chicago / February 4, 2024
Julia Poe: Lonzo Ball on Zach LaVine’s injury: “You look at the big picture. … I think it’s gonna make him a better human. He’s gonna come back and do his thing for sure. I’m not worried about that.” -via Twitter @byjuliapoe / February 3, 2024
KC Johnson: Alex Caruso: It sucks for Zach. We feel for him. 4-6 months is real surgery. We know he wants to be there for the team. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / February 3, 2024
