Retaining Nikola Vucevic Was Chicago's "No. 1 Goal"
1 year agoAccording to Bulls general manager Marc Eversley, keeping center Nikola Vucevic on the roster was the team's "No. 1 goal." The veteran signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with Chicago this offseason after averaging 17.6 points and 11.0 rebounds in 2022-23. The Bulls have seemingly flirted with the idea of entering a rebuilding phase. However, it appears Vucevic's presence on the roster is critical for the team, so he's unlikely to get moved elsewhere anytime soon. That said, although his production has dipped in the last few seasons and his defensive skills are lacking, he remains a potent fantasy option as long as he stays healthy, which was an issue before he landed in Chicago.
