Chicago Bulls All-Star Zach LaVine has lost a lot during his NBA career. Through seven seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Bulls, the most games that a team he has been a part of has won is 31.
The Timberwolves reached that number in his last season with the team and it is how many games the Bulls won the most recent season. Had there been a full 82-game season, LaVine would have likely had a new career-high in wins.
That total is one that he is looking to beat this season with the new-look Bulls. After so many years of being dysfunctional, Chicago looks to have finally built a roster that can win some games and compete for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Bulls surprised a lot of people when they acquired All-Star Nikola Vucevic from the Orlando Magic at the trade deadline. They continued upgrading the roster around LaVine this offseason, as Chicago was active in free agency.

Alex Caruso was signed away from the Los Angeles Lakers to further bolster the backcourt. Veteran and former All-Star DeMar DeRozan was acquired in a sign-and-trade from the San Antonio Spurs as well.
When you combine that with what the Bulls already had in place, they have a talented roster. It is one that Zach LaVine thinks highly of as he sent out a warning to the rest of the NBA.
There is no doubt that the Chicago Bulls are going to be a tougher team to play against this upcoming season than in years past. They have a lot of talented players on the team, now it is up to Billy Donovan to make the pieces fit to win some games.
