I’ve been racking my brain for days trying to understand why the Bulls would have an interest in signing the fractious Russell Westbrook. They do, apparently. That was the first possible explanation, that it was a bad rumor with no foundation in truth.
But assuming the speculation is true, why in the world would the team want someone as polarizing as Westbrook? “Energy’’ is the fashionable answer to that question. It’s the one that’s been bandied about in the Bulls-sphere. Even at 34, he could bring electricity to an unplugged, unresponsive roster, we’re told.
