The Chicago Bulls traded longtime guard Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings in a three-team deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. LaVine spent seven and a half years in Chicago, and the team and city meant a lot to the guard as he now says goodbye. LaVine posted a message of gratitude to the Bulls and fans on Tuesday.

It took Zach LaVine all of 67 seconds of his introductory Kings press conference to mention the word “playoffs.” He dropped it several more times during the 15 minutes he spoke to media Wednesday afternoon in Sacramento for the first time.

Zach LaVine had a message for fans as he prepared to make his Sacramento Kings debut against the Orlando Magic. He’s passionate.
