Zach was selected off the first round of the 2014 NBA draft and has since been going from strength to strength. He started playing for the Bulls in 2017.

Miami Heat selected Tyler Herro in the first round of the 2019 NBA drafts and has been with them since. Nikola Jovic joined the team in 2022. Ducan Robinson has been with them since 2018.
FANatic reaction: “Worst trade”
Fans are already reacting to the possible development by tweeting their thoughts and terse takes. One user sounded skeptical about it.
Here’s how the Twitter comments went on:
Let’s see how that shooting form is first, respectfully

Another one wrote a detailed analysis.
This actually makes sense to me….Zach’s salary alone-Heat would need to give up the players. I don’t think they get 2 1st rounders; probably one. However, Bulls get a starter that can shoot the 3, a bench guy that can shoot the 3 and the Heat have a Big 3 with Jim, Bam, and Zach

Yet another account had a simple comment.

Another post was accusatory.
Ain't no way the bulls fleece the heat like this
