ported about a growing disconnect between LaVine and the organization, including his teammates and multiple sitdowns with DeMar DeRozan, on December 20, 2022.
However, NBC Sports Chicago’s K.C. Johnson reported on the January 2, 2023 edition of the “Bulls Talk Podcast” that LaVine had “privately questioned his role” on the team.
LaVine later offered a cryptic answer when asked directly if he had an issue with his role.
“I go out there and play the role that’s given,” LaVine told Johnson on February 11, 2023. “There are certain things in the role that you’re given and the things that you’re asked to do that you have to go do for your team. And I do them to the best of my ability.”
LaVine also said he and DeRozan had a good relationship amid questions about their on-court fit following the 2022-23 season.
