“Absolutely,’’ Carter said to the Sun-Times, when asked if he would talk to his bosses about a possible position change when this regular season comes to an end. “Coach [Jim Boylen] understands that I’m a great defender no matter who I’m guarding, but he also understands that one of the reasons we’re in the black is because of my size, because I’m not as tall. I mean I’m more mobile than most fives, so I’m able to be up, slide, all that.

As has been written and said plenty, ownership and management first hired and then extended Boylen because they saw a teacher who held players accountable. So, yes, the full evaluation of Boylen moves beyond won-loss record. And that’s why Boylen answered confidently when asked if it would surprise him if management used the Bulls’ poor record against him. “Yes, it would,” he said. “I don’t foresee that happening.”

A viral video clip of Zach LaVine from Tuesday night has emerged from the Chicago Bulls’ 124-122 nail-biting loss to Oklahoma City Thunder that the star guard would like to clarify. LaVine is spotted on camera mouthing, “I have f—ing 40 points” to someone on the sidelines, before drilling a deep 3-pointer from the Bulls’ logo. Based off previous encounters, many assumed that LaVine was yelling at Bulls coach Jim Boylen, but he says that wasn’t the case.

“You get into the heat of the battle and between players when you guys are talking, you talk smack sometimes, right? And that’s all it was,” LaVine told ESPN, after ending with 41 points. “We were still down. Dude was talking a little mess to me and I just let him know ‘Look, I’ve got 40, I don’t know why you’re talking to me,’” he added. “I don’t know why they said they thought I was talking to Jim but it was just people being competitive in the game talking.”

He gets upset when inaccurate news is shared instead of his highlights or in-game plays. “That stuff sells with what’s happened before,” LaVine said. “Between a player and coach, I don’t think anybody should ever think it’s going to be buddy buddy or best friends. You have mutual respect and obviously, when you have two competitive people out there, they just want the best, you want to win, and we haven’t been in a winning situation yet so I think people get frustrated but at the end of the day, me and Jim talked. We have player-coach meetings and we’re in a good place right now,” he added. “It’s unfortunate that it got misconstrued but it was just between two players out there just having fun with the game.”
