Bulls Executive Vice President John Paxson addressed the media Friday at the team’s practice, in light of the new developments surrounding Nikola Mirotic’s trade request.
Still recovering from the effects of a concussion and broken facial bones at the hands of teammate Bobby Portis, there appears to be a disconnect between Mirotic and the team — hence the trade request that Paxson would neither confirm nor deny.
But the mere fact Paxson came over to speak to the media confirms things are reaching critical mass and he admits there are no easy answers.
“We’re really sensitive to this entire issue and what Niko is going through physically and mentally,” Paxson said.
