Let the recruiting recommence!
With the news from USA Basketball late Tuesday night that Zach LaVine had cleared the health and safety protocols and could join Team USA in Tokyo for the Olympics, that also meant the Bulls guard could also return to the business of selling the product he plays for to potential free agents.
“I mean players is gonna be players, man,’’ LaVine said recently when discussing the recruiting game that goes on when NBA superstars gather — whether it’s with Team USA or an All-Star Game.
And if LaVine needed a reminder of what position could put the Bulls into the postseason and at least jumpstart them out of being stuck in the mud of mediocrity, it was front and center the last month, as Milwaukee was crowned NBA Champions by defeating the Phoenix Suns.
