Bulls May Have The Edge In Zach LaVine Sweepstakes

Free-agent guard Zach LaVine will draw plenty of interest from multiple clubs over the summer. However, his former team, the Bulls, may have an early advantage.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) was unable to bring much to the table during Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics.

Max Strus Good To Go On Against Celtics
