Part 4/7:
For any significant trade involving LaVine, it would likely require the Nuggets to part with Michael Porter Jr. as part of the deal. With limited high-salary contracts aside from Jokić and Murray (who is not eligible for trade due to a recent extension), Porter Jr. becomes a pivotal asset in negotiations. A proposed trade might involve Porter Jr. and Zeke Nnaji going to Chicago for LaVine. This trade serves the Bulls' interest as they would escape LaVine's contract while potentially gaining a valuable asset in Porter Jr.
