Zach LaVine reject $90m contract extension…see more
With DeMar DeRozan no longer on the Bulls, trading Zach LaVine is the last big item on Chicagoโs offseason checklist. The team has been trying to move him since last season, but there has been no interest throughout the league.
While LaVineโs market has been depressed by some criticisms that are true, many are false. The pendulum has swung way too far toward the negative with him. His production on the court speaks for itself. As for the off-court criticisms, theyโre mostly bunk.
Hereโs why LaVine is not as toxic as portrayed.
LaVine has publicly supported his teammates throughout the years. After bad losses, he has mostly pointed the finger at himself rather than taking the easy way out and blaming others.
LaVineโs attitude hasnโt been extraordinarily poor, but it is true thatย he has been a difficult player to incorporate into the teamโs offense. He will break off plays to hunt for his own shot, and heโs not a fast decision-maker. When you look at who heโs had to pass the ball off to, his mentality starts to make sense.
