The relationship between Donovan and LaVine hasn't been the best the last two seasons, but the two couldn't be more in sync right now. Donovan is coaching, and LaVine is willing to be coached.

The Chicago Bulls entered Wednesday night’s game against the New York Knicks with just a 4-7 record on the season. Picking up a very impressive win, Chicago was able to take down New York in Madison Square Garden by a final score of 124-123.

Anyone who follows the Bulls knows that Zach LaVine has had his name smack dab in the middle of trade rumors for about a full calendar year. Along with that chatter, there’s been talk that LaVine and coach Billy Donovan haven’t exactly seen eye-to-eye.

The Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks will go head-to-head on Wednesday night. Chicago is dealing with a number of injury concerns heading into the game, though. Zach LaVine is among the Bulls battling injury trouble.

It hasn't always been easy figuring out the relationship he has with the Bulls organization, but LaVine is now there. And until his situation changes he is all about leaving the franchise in a better place than he found it.
