There is no such thing as an untouchable player on Chicago Bulls.
This has become clear from the beginning of the season when the team traded Darmar Derejan and Alex Karuso in summer. Bulls are now in the early stages of a reconstruction, the ugly first step that involves the separation of the roster of its most roasted qualities to build the ability for the future.
But even after rumors of rumors, guard Kobi White said he and his comrades were caught by the guard when they landed in Chicago on Sunday night, for the news that Zach Lavin was traded.
“We were all surprised,” White said. “It was too nonsense over the years and nothing happened, and then especially the year he was doing – we all (in shock) but we all suffered more because it was home for him. He gave all his to the city and organization. ,
Lavine trade set an uncomfortable tone for the rest of the bulls this week. If the biggest star of the front office team was ready to pay salaries and regain the control of the 2025 draft pickle, every other player has to increase themselves for a possible business.
The Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, Artras Kernioves, is chasing several more steps before Thursday’s trade deadline. The front office focuses on dealing with three major players: White, Nicola Wuwik and Lonzo Ball.
Meanwhile, Bulls have to play two games – at home against Miami Heat on Tuesday and at Minnesota Timberwells on Wednesday – they can do business at any time with knowledge.
“I already know that I am not untouchable,” said White. “So for me, this is just another day.”
Bulls are not interested in attaching property to a player’s business to sweeten the deal. They already deal with the 2028 second-guest pick, which to meet Lavin to Sacramento Kings to meet the move to meet a small but somewhat disappointing loss. This week, any other deals will be focused on draft pics.
Some players are similar to living compared to others. Ruki Matas Buzelis is a focal point for the future that remains relatively unused, so other teams are unlikely to take a swing for him – and Bulls did not buy the curiosity of one of the most promising draft pics in recent years in recent years Is of
Despite the report of interest in Josh Giddi, the point guard remains a relatively low-value trade property, especially with the end of their contract at the end of this season. And young stores such as Deelan Terry and Julian Philips are not focal points for any movement this week, although either the player can be packed in a business to resume the pics if necessary.
Outlook varies from player to player depending on the platform of his career. Vučević told Tribune last week that he was satisfied in Chicago, but would embrace a team in “Win-Ab Mode” instead of reconstruction. But young players like White are set to dig for a rebuilding to create a new version of the bulls in the later era of Lavin.
White said, “I have been in Chicago since the beginning of my career.” “This is home to me. I have just bought a house. I love it here. This is a great place. I love my colleagues. We have found a group of young talent, people who want to learn and win. ,
The 2020 draft pick, White is now the longest running player on the bulls. He has never been a bull – or an NBA player, for that case – without Lavin as his team partner. The pair changed coaching and front-office and struggled through losing weather together.
If the White lives in Chicago in the past of Thursday’s deadline, it would be one of the players, which was assigned to create a new identity for Livin Bulls. But for now, the white will celebrate those five years spent together – in court, yes, but most will close it.
Lavine’s favorite memory is not a 360-degree sting or game-winner 3-pointer. This is the day when he went to Lavin’s house in 2022 to meet Lavin’s newborn son, saint.
It was one thing to see Lavine Ball – but it was something to see your friend growing as a father that would also cherish white for a long time.
“The relationship we created is only bigger than basketball,” said White. “That’s what I remember.”
