Half-a**

The Bulls traded star guard Zach LaVine on Monday to signal the start of yet another rebuild. It’s a Jerry Reinsdorf thing. Then they signed Lonzo Ball to a two-year extension. Then…they did nothing at all. I watched Nikola Vucevic play defense against the Timberwolves last night, a 127-108 loss where the Bulls were outrebounded 68-42. It was sort of like what David Letterman said at the end of his interview with Joaquin Phoenix, “I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight.” If your center isn’t going to play defense or can’t, what good is he? Why hang onto him? Who’s going to want him in the last year of his contract next season? If this isn’t half-a**, what is?
