UCLA Basketball: All-Star Former Bruin Ignoring Trade Chatter As NBA Deadline Nears

He's been the talk of the town.

Former Pac-12 All-Freshman Team UCLA Bruins shooting guard Zach LaVine, more recently a two-time All-Star with the Chicago Bulls, is aware he's been the subject of trade speculation all season. Let's be real, it seems like he and his representatives fueled some of that fire back in November.

Per K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, the 6'5" sharpshooter claims to be unfazed by the recent chatter that clubs like the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons could be intriguing destinations.

“We’re winning,” LaVine said. “There’s nothing better than that. “I don’t think about (trades) at all. Unless I get a call from my agent, it’s just another day at the office for me. I’m glad to be out here playing. I’ve been in trade talks for a long time, obviously. I think this year was bigger than years prior. But at the end of the day, it’s nothing new.”

“I’m good in any situation. I feel like, offensively, there isn’t a position or a style that I’m not comfortable in or can’t adapt to. I have that amount of confidence in my game,” he said. “If it’s passing, creating, shooting, on the ball, finishing, I can adjust to any system.”

“As long as I have a Bulls jersey on, I have no inclination of looking into the future of if I’ll be here,” LaVine continued.

LaVine is averaging 19.5 points on .452/.349/.854 shooting splits, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 rebounds.
