One major problem the front office has is that it has little financial wiggle room to try to make LaVine happy. One reason is Porter’s $27.2 million salary this season and his $28.4 million player option next season — an option he undoubtedly will exercise.
The Bulls would love to trade Porter, whom they acquired in a deal with the Wizards at the deadline last season, but good luck finding a team to take that contract.
As it stands right now, the injured Porter is in line to collect just less than $60 million from the Bulls when it’s all said and done. To this point, he has played in 24 games for them and has contributed to 10 victories.
Another player the Bulls would love to trade is 2016 first-round draft pick Denzel Valentine, who is buried in coach Jim Boylen’s doghouse. The problem is, they wouldn’t be able to get much in return for Valentine, so he would have to be part of a package.
Markkanen looks like a player who needs a change of scenery, but the Bulls would be too paranoid to give up on his talent. That leaves Young and Kris Dunn, and that’s about it.
Sources have indicated the Clippers have interest in both players, but they could go after Young in a trade and wait for Dunn to become a restricted free agent this summer.
