Only a few days into the start of his new path with the Chicago Bulls, shooting guard Zach LaVine can see the team starting to come together now that the impending buyout of Dwyane Wade has been put behind them.
“When you're going through that process like we are here, where it's almost a rebuilding process where you're looking just to improve, for Minnesota we had such a tight locker room. It never seemed like we were in a losing situation,” LaVine told Mark Strotman of CSN Chicago. “It was such a fun group. And that's the same way I can see how it is here.
“The chemistry should be the same. Our second year, if we don't win 28 games or whatever it was (in Minnesota), we felt like we were a 50-win team. We felt like we competed. No one came out feeling sorry for us. We went out feeling good about ourselves because we're competing, we're getting better.”
The Bulls are expected to be at the bottom of the totem pole as they undergo a complete rebuilding effort with the help of up-and-coming stars like LaVine.
Still, the lack of offensive firepower will take a toll on this team, which will instead focus on building chemistry to bring into the following seasons, as they grow under coach Fred Hoiberg's system.
