Zach LaVine goes viral with training footage amid trade and injury drama

This offseason has not been kind to Chicago Bulls All-Star Zach LaVine. During the offseason, LaVine's name was mentioned several times as a non-tradeable contract with negative value due to his salary and injury history. LaVine has remained relatively quiet throughout, but occasionally gives a subtle explanation to his critics.

LaVine posted footage of himself dunking on Instagram and TikTok that was very reminiscent of one of his Slam Dunk Contest moments. Needless to say, it immediately went viral on the internet. Aggregator accounts posted the video on Twitter, where it received 12,000 likes and 573,000 views within 24 hours.

Zach LaVine didn't say anything in the video, but it was very clear that it had a message. LaVine wanted to make sure everyone knew that he was healthy and still capable of the amazing feats that had made him famous.

Chicago Bulls insiders have recently stated that Zach LaVine's value in the league is so poor that the Bulls would have to trade an asset to make a deal with him. The team apparently couldn't find any suitors, so they'll likely keep him when the NBA season starts. However, there's still a good chance the Chicago Bulls will trade LaVine mid-season to restore his value.
