LaVine joined the Bulls via trade last summer, but missed all but 24 games due to a knee injury. He flew to Sacramento this week where he met with the front office and medical staff.
With Chicago reportedly matching, it’s back to the drawing board for the Kings, who have roughly $19 million in available cap space.
