Michael Carter-Williams on Dwyane Wade's Bulls tenure: We felt he could've been a better leader
That year, there were stories about Dwyane Wade being a bad locker-room guy. What was D-Wade like that year? Michael Carter-Williams: Honestly, D-Wade was in a tough position. Coming from Miami, nearing the end of his career, he was in a new place. I don’t know if he fully knew his role. Having Jimmy and Rondo there complicated things. Sometimes, Wade seemed frustrated. He was injured a lot and spent a lot of time rehabbing, so we didn’t always get reps with him in practice. He’d get frustrated about not getting the ball in the right spots, and we’d feel like we didn’t have enough practice with him to figure it out. Wade was passionate about winning. He wanted to address problems, have conversations, and resolve things. There were moments where he led by sharing his experiences and trying to guide us. At other times, we felt he could’ve been a better leader.

Warriors, Pistons not likely to be interested in Zach LaVine trade
While Sacramento harbored interest for Zach LaVine this past summer, sources say that the Kings are no longer an option after they landed DeMar DeRozan. Golden State also weighed a LaVine pursuit internally, sources said, but the Warriors do not presently have much interest. I’ve been advised that Detroit is not a likely destination for Zach LaVine, either.
