NBA Executives Suggest Zach LaVine Is Forcing His Way Out Of Chicago Bulls To Join The Los Angeles Lakers
The Chicago Bulls are supposed to be winning more ball games this season, but that hasn’t been working out so far as the team continues to be in disarray. Frustrations are now boiling in Chicago, with Zach LaVine emerging as a centerpiece of issues.
According to recent reports, LaVine isn’t seeing eye-to-eye with the Bulls front office and reportedly has a growing tension with fellow star DeMar DeRozan. Multiple players also directed frustration at LaVine during their loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.
LaVine just penned a five-year, $215 million contract earlier this year, showing his desire to stay with the team for the long term. But amid the turmoil going on with the Bulls, NBA executives believe that the 27-year old shooting guard is forcing his way out of the team to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
“LaVine wants to go to the Lakers, that has been pretty clear for a while now. The agents want him to be in Los Angeles, he is a UCLA guy and they did some rattling about his contract last offseason”
