Report: Warriors declined Bulls’ LaVine trade offer before CP3 waived

Report: Warriors declined Bulls’ LaVine trade offer before CP3 waived originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The Warriors reportedly had an opportunity to land an NBA star this weekend.

Golden State turned down a trade offer from the Chicago Bulls that would have sent guard Zach LaVine to the Warriors, TNT’s Chris Haynes reported Sunday on NBA TV’s “Free Agent Fever.”

“I was told the Chicago Bulls were trying to get something going with the Golden State Warriors, trying to get a Zach LaVine package together,” Haynes said. “What I was told was it could have been a Zach LaVine for a Chris Paul or Andrew Wiggins. The Warriors, from how it was explained to me, the Warriors, they didn’t feel that was an adequate amount for a deal structure so things didn’t go as planned so that fell through which led to the Golden State Warriors choosing to release Chris Paul.

“And I was told it was Mike Dunleavy the general manager who called Chris Paul and gave him the news.”

The offer, as Haynes reported, consisted of either Chris Paul or Andrew Wiggins with other assets potentially involved.

Golden State waived Paul on Sunday, clearing the way for the veteran guard to test the market as an unrestricted free agent.

The Warriors also reportedly are looking to trade Wiggins, who has two years and approximately $54 million remaining on his contract with a $30 million player option for the 2026-27 season.

Even though the Warriors reportedly were looking to move on from Paul and Wiggins, it appears the Bulls’ proposed package was too rich for their taste.
