The 2022 NBA free agency isn’t full of high-profile names, but there are some interesting names we could see testing the waters of the free market. Kyrie Irving and James Harden could join this group of players, but nothing is certain right now.
Meanwhile, the biggest face of this year’s free agency is Chicago Bulls’ Zach LaVine, who hasn’t made up his mind about his future in the league. Some say he could stay with the Bulls, while others don’t think he will be part of the squad for much longer.
The player has been sending mixed signals about this free agency, which has made people around the league believe that he could ‘in play’ this summer. The Los Angeles Lakers have been mentioned as a potential destination for the 2x NBA All-Star, but they aren’t the only ones looking to make a move for the shooting guard.
According to Marc Stein, many folks think LaVine is available and the competition for his services won’t only include the Bulls.

“How gettable Zach LaVine is remains a matter of debate, although I will say around the league, I do get the sense from teams that do think he’s in play.”
Zach finally played in the NBA playoffs this season after Chicago assembled a team with DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso. The team looked the best they’ve looked in years, and even though they couldn’t make it past the first round, there was hope around them for the future.
Now, however, Zach could be leaving the squad, and it seems like that’s a bigger possibility than we initially thought. Besides the Lakers, more teams could join this race. LaVine could be a terrific addition to any team trying to win the championship, and he seems to be ready to face a new challenge.
