The Bulls are difficult to trade or buy out Vucevic, and the average average of 18+10 last season is expected to attract competition from Lakers and Warriors.

On July 5, after the Bulls sent off DeRozan, Raven and other players, they were determined to start the reconstruction mode. But the Bulls are still worried at the moment, and the team's inside core Vucevic has always been difficult to trade, or may have no choice but to buy him out. Of course, once Vucevic is bought out, teams such as the Lakers, Warriors and Nuggets that need to supplement their inside strength are expected to join the battle.

The Bulls have traded to send away players such as DeRozan, Raven, Caruso and Ball, among which Caruso helped the Thunder win the championship last season.

Bulls have also been selling Vucevic for a long time, but have never reached a deal. After all, his cost-effectiveness and age issues make most teams unwilling to take over.

Now, according to Forbes Sports reporter Evan Sidery, "The Bulls are not lucky in opening up the trading market for Vucevic. After asking for a first round pick on the trading deadline, the market demand for the upcoming age of 35 has dried up. Vucevic hopes to end his career with a championship team, so a buyout may be a more suitable choice."

Vucevic played 73 games last season, including 72 starts, and averaged 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

Once Vucevic is bought out, it will be very attractive to many teams, such as the Lakers, Warriors, Nuggets, etc., may seek recruitment to upgrade their inside strength.
