“Hope’’ isn’t a plan.
The Bulls latest free-agent agreement was more evidence of that.
It was confirmed that the team reached a one-year deal with veteran point guard Goran Dragic on Sunday, giving them another option in the backcourt, as well as a streaky three-point shooter, but it may have spoken to a larger concern for the franchise.
Specifically, the real health of Lonzo Ball and his left knee.
Bulls general manager Marc Eversley was asked about Ball several weeks ago, and gave a vague answer that then bordered on cryptic.
“Currently working out in [Los Angeles], still doing his [knee] rehab,’’ Eversley said when he was asked about Ball and the lingering bone bruise that cost him the second half of the season.
