LaVine had a great eight-year tenure with the Bulls, including two All-Star appearances, but a trade out of Chicago was inevitable. It will be odd for Bulls fans to see DeRozan and LaVine share the court in Sacramento, but they are two stars who served the Bulls well and simply moved on.

On Sunday, the Chicago Bulls dropped another game, losing 127-119 to the Detroit Pistons in front of 20,062 fans at Little Caesars Arena. The defeat knocked the Bulls to 21-29–10th place in the Eastern Conference.

Kings guard DeMar DeRozan was ecstatic when he found out that his former teammate, Zach LaVine, will be joining him in Sacramento.
