Tim Bontemps: While he makes far less money than LaVine, it’s a similar story for Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, as sources across the league also don’t expect much interest in trading for him. Vucevic is actually having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 21 points and 9.8 rebounds while shooting 58.7% from the field and 47.4% from 3. (Both shooting numbers would blow away his previous career highs.) That has also led to some reasonable skepticism that those high-water marks will hold up as the season progresses. -via ESPN / December 14, 2024
