Do the Bulls see an off-season LaVine trade as something that HAS to happen? Or will they be content with him on the roster if a trade market for him doesn’t materialize? Also, if he’s on the team at the start of the season, do you think there’s any potential for distraction/unrest? It seems like everyone was professional last year and I’m wondering if that can last if he’s truly unhappy. — Steve P. KC Johnson: Content may be the wrong word, and I do get the sense both sides are motivated to make something work this offseason. I don’t think the Bulls will take an awful deal if little materializes, but I do get the sense they’re open to more possibilities than before. More to the point: I’ve reported before what their asking price was—All-Star level talent, first-round picks or both—and my sense is that it has dropped significantly.
