Chicago Bulls fans might soon have to bid goodbye to two big players, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic as per a recent report. The Bulls are clearly struggling at this point in the season, and are currently ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference after winning only 18 games and losing 23 so far. Before the trade deadline, the Bulls might trade both these key players in order to preserve their draft pick, hoping to score a strong player for the squad.
In their most recent matchup, the Bulls were paired against the Atlanta Hawks and lost the game sadly with a final score of 110-94. In that game, Coby White was the lead scorer for the team, putting up 16 points on the scoreboard with a pair of rebounds and six assists. Zach LaVine managed 15 points, while Nikola Vucevic added another 14 points against the Hawks.
“As The Athletic reported in mid-December, Denver is among the teams that have shown serious interest in the 29-year-old, two-time All-Star. In the case of the 34-year-old Vučević, a two-time All-Star who is one of just seven players averaging at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists, Golden State is known to be among his suitors. He has one season left on his deal after this one (worth $21.5 million),” Sam Amick from The Athletic reported.
In this NBA season, 29-year-old Zach LaVine is averaging 23.8 points in each game for the Chicago Bulls, while grabbing 4.9 rebounds per matchup and assisting 4.5 times in every clash. On the other hand, the 34-year-old Nikola Vucevic is scoring 20.3 points in every game as an average, with 10.2 boards and 3.3 helpers.
