Nikola Vucevic’s $20 million salary, with a third and final season to go at $21.5 million in 2025-26, is far more palatable for teams to absorb. One GM told me he would put the two-time All-Star’s likely price point in a trade at two second-round picks.

Vooch was not happy with that Giddey turnover. Not only was big man open at the top of the arc, but he then threw his arms up in the air as to say, “Keep it simple!”
Giddey was trying a cross-court pass that had no chance. – 9:06 PM

More on this storyline
No surprise, then, that Bulls executives, according to league sources, have been messaging to rival front offices that they are willing to discuss the majority of their roster in trade talks leading up to the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Most notably, sources say, Chicago has expressed a desire to move Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic and Lonzo Ball — who collectively command nearly $85 million in salary this season. -via marcstein.substack.com / November 29, 2024
And he continues to put the work in, be it before practice, after practice or on his own at night. According to center Nikola Vucevic, the two players you can count on finding at the Advocate Center at any time of the day are Dosunmu and guard Coby White. That’s why Wednesday was a bit of vindication for Dosunmu, even though the Bulls lost to the Magic. On his way to a team-high 21 points, Dosunmu shot 10-for-12 from the field. -via Chicago Sun-Times / November 29, 2024
