The Chicago Bulls have a huge problem to solve ahead of them. The team has had an underwhelming start to the season, despite some serious performances from Zach LaVine. Notably, the star dropped a 51-pointer on a losing cause. The issue didn’t end there. LaVine’s consistent performance, resulting in losing cause, ignited trade rumors in the NBA world. Moreover, to back the trade rumors, a recent gesture from the 28-year-old star sparked opinions from the fans.
