The Bulls are officially broken.
Their max contract, face-of-the-franchise player made that very clear on Wednesday.
Speaking with the media after the morning shootaround, guard Zach LaVine sounded like a player that knew the trade rumors and pending break-up with the Bulls isn’t just smoke this time. It’s fire spreading from both sides.
When and where it will happen? Too early for those specifics, according to LaVine, but for the first time in his seven-year stint with the Bulls, he was acting like he knew it was going to happen.
Asked directly if he’s gone to the front office and demanded a trade, LaVine didn’t exactly play the denial game.
