Dec 14, 2024 · Detroit in: Nikola Vucevic and Chris Duarte Why for Chicago: Tim Hardway is an expiring contract which frees up 2025 cap space in Chicago. Reed steps in as part of the center rotation and at 25 years old continues the theme of recent Bulls moved in getting younger players. And the Toronto 2nd could be a decent pick based on their record so far.

Dec 30, 2024 · But you cannot fit Vucevic/LeBron/Davis on heavy rotations as the perimeter defense is still a little suspect. DFS helps but he's not guarding the smaller quicker guys. Which is also Lebron's biggest weakness now days is he's still a super intelligent defender and still makes up for lack of burst with being disciplined as picking when he ...

Jan 17, 2025 · Vucevic has aged well on offense. He just had 40 pt game, is shooting very efficiently this year. He has an eFG% of 62% on 15 shots a game. If you plug ihim into a well running offense his production still outvalues his average defense. He gets 10 board a game too. Seems like the most impactful player for this season

Jan 5, 2025 · Nikola Vucevic is expected to get dealt by the Chicago Bulls before the trade deadline, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line. The Warriors have emerged as a potential landing spot for Vucevic. Lonzo Ball is also likely to be traded by the deadline. The Bulls reportedly are finding difficulty generating trade interest in Zach LaVine.

Sep 25, 2024 · Plays with energy all day/better defender/better lob threat. Ultimately has limitations cuz of his size but so does Vucevic. Raptors - Poeltl - another 50/50 you could argue but i think if it was game 5 of any important playoff game and a serious head coach had to pick between him and Vucevic to start they'd all take Jakob. Much better defender ...

Jan 22, 2025 · The Chicago Bulls have received trade calls on both Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, sources tell Shams Charania. LaVine has rebuilt his trade value by shooting a career high overall (51.4%) and on 3s (45%) while averaging 24 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

I don't think either has positive trade value. Chicago should just buyout Vucevic and let him go where he wants and trade LaVine for anything they can get. I suspect they'll have to add value to move him, but I'd be calling Brooklyn about a LaVine for Simmons swap if the Nets are trying to avoid giving up a lottery pick to Houston again.

6 days ago · Vucevic would be a fun player on the Spurs but not so sure a winning one. His fit with Wemby on defense is bad, he'd have to guard mostly on the perimeter and he'd get murdered in space, and if he comes off the bench what Spurs need the most as a backup 5 is a rim protector rather than a floor spacer, so he doesn't solve the problem there.
