Some within Bulls front office having doubts about offering Zach LaVine a max contract?

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine may be LaGone if you believe a new report from this week.

David Kaplan of ESPN 1000 in Chicago reported on Wednesday that some in the Bulls organization would like to give LaVine a max contract but that others have doubts. The skeptics in the organization are concerned about LaVine’s alleged lack of a “'dog mentality' it takes to win big,” Kaplan adds.

LaVine is an unrestricted free agent this summer, but the Bulls can offer him the most money on his next deal. While a “dog mentality” is an inherently arbitrary measure of value, LaVine’s numbers speak for themselves. The 27-year-old has improved his scoring averages every single season (except for this year where he took a backseat to the newly acquired DeMar DeRozan) and is an easy threat to go off for 30 points with a handful of assists on any given night. LaVine also has quite the selection of clutch game-winners already under his belt.
