NBA Season Preview 2022-23: Every team’s current longest-tenured player
By Luke Anton
Chicago Bulls: Zach LaVine, 5 years
In the summer of 2017, the Bulls traded Jimmy Butler (along with the lesser known Justin Patton) to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen. Not only is LaVine the only player involved in that trade that is still on the Bulls or T-Wolves, but he’s the only player that hasn’t been on multiple different teams since then.
LaVine signed a five-year, $215 million max contract this offseason to remain in Chicago.
