Will this series have an impact on the impending Zach LaVine decision?

The Chicago Bulls may have assembled a competitive team last offseason, but there’s one very big question that clouds this team after this season – and that revolves around whether Zach LaVine will re-sign.

He’s an unrestricted free agent after this season and will be free to sign wherever he likes. If the Bulls are swept out of the playoffs, or lose in a short series, you can’t wonder whether that could have a lasting impact on LaVine’s impending decision.

The Bulls got off to a fantastic start to the season but certainly faded in the wrong direction over the final few months. Chicago is not a contender and that has to be something sitting in the back of LaVine’s mind.
