Patience is a virtue, especially in the NBA. Of course, it isn’t always easy to exercise.
We’ve all been in a situation where we felt like we couldn’t wait. Still, if we can, we’ll be grateful later.
Some NBA fans need to be patient as well. They may have expected their favorite team to make a big move at the trade deadline. Perhaps they didn’t make it. That doesn’t mean they won’t make it in time.
For example, look at the Chicago Bulls. Plenty of their fans would have liked for them to blow up their core at the deadline.
Since they owe their upcoming first-round pick to the Orlando Magic (with top-4 protection), they opted against doing so.
Could they blow it up this summer by sending Zach LaVine to the Los Angeles Lakers?
