CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls remain hopeful All-Star guard Zach LaVine will choose to re-sign with them rather than join another team as an unrestricted free agent.
Arturas Karnisovas, the Bulls' executive vice president of basketball operations, said Monday the team has been very open with LaVine.
"We hope Zach is here for a long time, and nothing changed," Karnisovas said at a news conference to introduce first-round draft pick Dalen Terry.
LaVine's situation is obviously the biggest story hovering over the Bulls, with the free-agent negotiating period opening Thursday evening.
