CHICAGO — “Continuity” was the buzzword this past week as Chicago Bulls players and management met with reporters one last time following their first-round playoff loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Keeping the core together was the stated goal of executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas, though it will be greatly weakened unless Zach LaVine returns. And as one of the most coveted unrestricted free agents this summer, that’s not a slam dunk — even if the Bulls can offer him the most money.
While he said he has a “really soft spot in my heart” for Bulls fans, LaVine was noncommittal Friday when asked about his return.
