Hours after not exactly shooting down the trade talk coming from his camp and his organization, the Bulls’ Zach LaVine had a rough shooting night in a 96-94 loss to the Magic.

Billy Donovan was trying to play the role of optimist.

After all, someone within the Bulls organization needed to.

The coach was asked about the trade talk surrounding Zach LaVine now draining into the locker room, slowly poisoning the well, and dismissed the likelihood of any scenario like that happening.

“I spent quite a bit of time with Zach this summer,’’ Donovan said.
