Rumors around the Raptors and Pacers have been confirmed in recent days since Toronto has made trades with New York (which could still make transfers) and Indiana. On the Bulls side, too, there have been many rumors in recent months, particularly those concerning Zach LaVine.
But the Chicago franchise has not yet moved. And obviously, the recent exchanges in the Eastern Conference are not going to push them to press the button.
“I didn’t really hear our leaders say that, as things were happening elsewhere, we had to do something,” assures Billy Donovan for the Chicago Sun Times. “From my point of view, the idea has always been to look at our team and try to make it better. We always look, during a season, for ways to improve. But I didn't have those conversations. Like: since OG Anunoby is going to New York, we have to react. I didn't talk about that with the leaders. »
Installed in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, ahead of the irregular Hawks and the sinking Nets, the Bulls are on a good dynamic with 5 victories in 7 matches. Above all, the market seems blocked around Zach LaVine, whose big salary greatly slows down suitors.
