Zach LaVine isn’t the only player trapped on the Bulls roster moving forward
Trade SZN continues to seem rough for Chicago.
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is perpetually involved in trade rumors, and the prevailing theory continues to be that he’ll go nowhere.
Despite having his best season in at least two years – arguably three when he was named an Eastern Conference All-Star in 2021-22—LaVine’s contract, history of knee injuries and new restrictions placed on teams with the league’s second apron are combining to make dealing him a near impossible task.
He’s not the only Bulls star having a standout season, however, and he’s certainly not the only one proving difficult to deal.
There ‘isn’t much interest’ in Nikola Vucevic around the NBA
Vucevic is averaging 21.0 points this season, the most since he arrived in Chicago in 2020-21 when he was named an All-Star for the second time.
He’s also averaging 9.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists, but it’s his off-the-charts shooting efficiency that’s making this a career season for the 14-year veteran.
The 34-year-old is shooting 58.7 percent from the field and knocking down 47.4 percent of his 4.6 threes per game, both of which would blow past his previous career highs if they hold up.
But even with those numbers and his much more palatable contract compared to LaVine’s, the Bulls are still having trouble finding a suitor for Vucevic, according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN.
