MIAMI – It wasn’t a conversation that lasted very long, and it took even less convincing.
Coming over in the three-team trade that sent Zach LaVine to Sacramento, the new Zach in town – Collins – had a quick sit-down with Bulls coach Billy Donovan.
The topic? A request for the 6-foot-11, 250-pounder to help out in the physicality department, to give the Bulls some muscle behind the hustle.
Collins’ immediate reaction was yes and yes.
“They definitely told me that they like my physicality and what I bring as a big guy, the five man, and they needed that,” Collins said.
