The Bulls failing rebuild isn’t even cold yet, and still the vultures are already circling.
SNY reported last week that both the Knicks and the Nets were doing background work on Zach LaVine and the possibility of the guard being dealt by the new regime, and an NBA scout has told the Sun-Times there were a handful of teams actively zeroing in on multiple players on the Bulls roster, including Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr.
Normal due diligence or a lot more smoke than usual?
In this case likely both.
First, it’s important to note that Bulls sources have indicated that the organization hasn’t even crossed the trade bridge.
