Inaction could not last forever. The Chicago Bulls finally made a move at the trade deadline after three consecutive years of standing pat, taking one more step forward toward a future vision of a rebuild.

Over the weekend, the Sacramento Kings made a deal to send star point guard De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, stirring up the NBA by giving 21-year-old superstar Victor Wembanyama an elite point guard.

“Karnišovas clarifies this: Says he won’t stand in way of young players making playoff run, said that’s sign of development and growth,” K.C. Johnson said in a post. “Understands if they don’t make playoffs, their draft pick can be better.”

The Chicago Bulls finally can move past the challenge of moving Zach LaVine. But did they get enough back for their best player?

The Chicago Bulls traded longtime guard Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings in a three-team deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. LaVine spent seven and a half years in Chicago, and the team and city meant a lot to the guard as he now says goodbye. LaVine posted a message of gratitude to the Bulls and fans on Tuesday.

The Sacramento Kings made a significant trade on Sunday, sending De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs and returning Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls. They also added Jonas Valanciunas from the Wizards.

The Zach LaVine era has ended in Chicago. The Bulls are sending the two-time All-Star shooting guard to the Sacramento Kings in a three-team trade also headlined by De’Aaron Fox, a source confirmed to the Tribune. ESPN was the first to report the news Sunday. The team announced the move Monday.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Zach LaVine is set to be traded from the Bulls to the Sacramento Kings as part of a multi-team deal, according to reports Sunday night. ESPN reported the deal also involved sending De'Aaron Fox from the Kings to the San Antonio Spurs. The Bulls have not confirmed the report.

The Bulls received Kevin Huerter from the Kings and Zach Collins from the Spurs. In addition, Jordan McLaughlin went from Sacramento to the Spurs, Sidy Cissoko went from the Spurs to the Kings and Tre Jones left the Spurs for Chicago. The Kings also get six future draft picks — three first-rounders, three second-rounders.

In eight seasons with the Chicago Bulls, Zach LaVine never reached the heights he hoped to summit in the postseason. But the two-time All-Star shooting guard leaves with his name stamped all over the franchise record books — and with close to a decade of memories.
