The Bulls obtained such a horrible return for Zach LaVine. Horrific. Don’t care how overpaid he’s, he’s have a wonderful yr as soon as once more. Elite shooter, dynamic shot-creator with All-Star caliber numbers. In addition to the yr he missed 57 video games he’s been nice in 4 of the final 5 years.
