Lauri Markkanen Throws Shade At The Chicago Bulls Coaching Staff

«I feel like I get to play basketball the way I know rather than just having to play one role,» Markkanen told Right Down Euclid when asked about the biggest difference between the Cavs and the Bulls. «After talking with the coaching staff, I feel like it's pretty free here.»

"I've got nothing but good things to say," Markkanen added. "I love how nice everybody is and I'm glad to be driving on a highway without traffic. Everyone that we have met has been really nice to me and to my family so we're really excited and obviously we're happy to be in Cleveland."

"I'm 24 years old and even if I'm a veteran or not, I look at myself and know I've still got the best basketball ahead of me. So, I'm ready to get to work with these guys and leading and that's all I'm looking forward to doing. I think we got a good group," he concluded.
