This could have been the season for Zach LaVine to be selfish. His former co-star, DeMar DeRozan, is gone. The bottom fell out of the defense with the departure of Alex Caruso. The best way to build up his trade value is to stockpile stat sheets to convince other teams of his viability on a contender.

The Chicago Bulls failed to find a trade partner in the summer to get Zach LaVine's contract off the books. With three years remaining on his deal, he was still set to earn $138 million.

The Bulls don’t have enough veterans to rely solely on a experienced lineup in tightly contested games. So Donovan leaned on two of his youngest players — Julian Phillips and Terry — as the Knicks continued to mount their comeback early in the fourth quarter.
