The Lakers are getting more and more competition to make a trade for the Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine

A new suitor to get the Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine has emerged, this is coming after several rumors and reports have had the LA Lakers interested in making a trade for the guard.

Despite the heavy rumors, it could not happen, as NBA insider Shams Charania has a new suitor to get the service of LaVine as it's expected Sacramento to be active on the trade market.

Charania reported: "They're going to be involved in every star player. Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, maybe Zach LaVine." This alongside a recent report by Marc Stein that has the Lakers looking for internal improvement rather than making a trade for the moment, is separating the team from a potential move.

“I’ve been advised that the Lakers’ reported interest at this early juncture of the season is best described as TBD. I’m told the Lakers, at present, are focused on internal improvement, hopeful that getting Jarred Vanderbilt and [Gabe] Vincent back on the floor regularly will give them a meaningful boost.” Wrote Marc Stein.

Before making a trade, coach Ham wants to see his team complete, once they have done it and see who isn't a good fit, then a trade will be made. So far, the team has an 8-6 record in the regular season and a 3-0 record in the In-Season Tournament ahead of tonight's fourth game vs. the Utah Jazz to get the first place of Group A and advance to the next stage.
