在12月中旬首次把拉文和掘金队联系在一起后，关于芝加哥公牛队和掘金队之间交易进展的更新一直很少。但据HoopsHype记者迈克尔·斯科托报道，扎克·拉文到丹佛的流言没有消失，谈判还在继续维持。
"There’s been growing pessimism that Chicago Bulls two-time All-Star Zach LaVine would be traded to the Denver Nuggets in a package for Michael Porter Jr., league sources told HoopsHype," Scotto wrote on HoopsHype.
"Chicago doesn’t want to absorb Zeke Nnaji’s four-year, $32 million contract and would need to offload him to a third team, such as the Detroit Pistons, who have $14 million in cap space going into the trade deadline to be a third party facilitator in trades to acquire future draft capital."
"Chicago doesn’t want to waste any assets having to flip Nnaji to a third team, and Denver lacks the future draft capital likely needed to make it happen on their end."
双方的主要分歧还是在于纳吉的合同，虽然活塞队可以作为三方球队接手，但是谁来出选秀权回报给活塞队是公牛队和掘金队争论的焦点。
