He had promised change and it is starting… Arturas Karnisovas, the president of the Chicago franchise, sent Alex Caruso to the Thunder against Josh Giddey. However, his two major issues to manage are the extension of DeMar DeRozan, and the departure of Zach LaVine.
The back should not start the season with the Bulls and to find a team that wants to get him back, the managers have started to lower their demands. And to increase contacts.
Indeed, NBC Sports announces that Arturas Karnisovas has imagined no less than 15 transfer proposals around Zach LaVine! Particularly in Sacramento, Utah, Orlando and Philadelphia, our colleagues specify.
The problem nevertheless remains the same: his contract and his $138 million over the next three seasons (the last is a “player option”). That's a lot for a player who is only a second or even third option and who spends a lot of time in the infirmary. His rating being very low, the Bulls know that they can no longer require only an All-Star and/or first-round Draft picks to sell him.
