A slow news cycle for most of the week concerning the Chicago Bulls was snapped heading into the weekend. The Bulls made the move to finally get a sign-and-trade deal done to move restricted free agent and fourth-year power forward Lauri Markkanen on the late morning of Aug. 27. And then, star shooting guard Zach LaVine made the move himself to leave his longtime agency BDA for Klutch Sports and Rich Paul.
There will always be the chatter when a star that is also an impending unrestricted free agent, like LaVine, signs with an agency like Klutch that he could be looking elsewhere next summer.
