“F**k you Jerry Reinsdorf!”- 2x NBA All-Star with Chicago Bulls Zach LaVine likes a tweet cussing out the owner of his team
Chicago Bulls superstar Zach LaVine opened some eyes on social media involving a Bulls front office member. LaVine recently liked a tweet on Twitter that was speaking negatively regarding the team's owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
The situation has left many wondering if there could be a deeper story involved. Jerry Reinsdorf has been the owner of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago White Sox for over 35 years. That includes the Chicago Bulls era of championships with NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Many were surprised to see LaVine openly like a tweet talking down about his owner. The expectation from the tweet was that it was focusing on the Chicago White Sox, who were expected to be a playoff contender this season.

Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls hope to make noise in the Eastern Conference
The situation involving Zach LaVine and team owner Jerry Reinsdorf could prove to be a story focusing on something other than the Chicago Bulls. When it comes to the Bulls franchise, the team is hoping to make noise in the Eastern Conference this season.
Chicago was one of the most impressive teams in the league last year. Throughout the 2021-22 season, the Bulls found themselves at the top of the standings. That was until the team was hit with a number of different injuries.
Zach LaVine has continued to be the focal point of the Bulls team. He isn't alone though as star guard DeMar DeRozan has proved to be a dangerous running mate. Chicago will look to cement themselves as one of the top teams in the East in the opening months of play.

The team has been without fellow star point guard Lonzo Ball. The talented guard has been sidelined since the second half of last season due to a knee injury. If the Bulls can stay the course before getting Ball back in the lineup, they will have the tools to make a run in the East. Chicago has also gotten strong play from veteran big man Nikola Vucevic.
For now, it looks like the tweet involving Jerry Reinsdorf could just be a story that involves further comment. LaVine had been waiting to make his return after recovering from a previous injury. In his first game this season, LaVine went on to post 23 points and 4 assists in a tough loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
