Bulls Seeking First Round Pick For Nikola Vucevic
The Chicago Bulls are continuing to try to trade Nikola Vucevic. Despite Vucevic's strong play to open the season, one hold-up for a deal is that Chicago is seeking a first-round pick in a deal for the veteran center. Vucevic has averaged 21 points on 58.7% shooting, including 47.4% from behind the arc this season. He's also averaged 9.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and just shy of a block and a steal per game. The veteran center is owed $20 million this season and $21.5 million next season. Rival teams have seen that as a bit pricey for a center who can't anchor the backline of a defense. However, Vucevic's hot start offensively could sway a team to make a deal before the February 6 trade deadline.
