Zach LaVine Has Been Full Participant In Bulls Offseason 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Sep 23, 2024 1:12 pm

Zach LaVine has been a willing participant in offseason activities with the Chicago Bulls. Despite all workouts and player-organized minicamps being voluntary, LaVine has been a willing participant, despite previously requesting a trade.


The Bulls gathered in Miami last month for informal workouts. LaVine was a full participant in those workouts before having to leave for personal reasons. Earlier this month, LaVine joined his teammates in Chicago for workouts ahead of training camp opening next week.


The veteran guard is buying into what the Bulls are building, even as both LaVine and the team continue to work on trade options. In offseason conversations with head coach Billy Donovan, LaVine has reportedly promised that he won't overstep or stunt the development of younger players.

I think his camp is realizing that no one is going to trade for him if he doesn't show that he's: a) really healthy and b) that his head is on straight

Yeah, it's always shocking when guys do anything else. If you want out, tanking your trade value isn't the way to do it.

By "full participant" they mean: Involved in every trade rumor.
