Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers Express Interest in Chicago Bulls Star
The Chicago Bulls have been better than most people had expected coming into the season. One of the key reasons behind that has been the form of their high-profile players, who had been written off.
Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic have both been standout performers this season.
But that does not mean that the Bulls have altered their plans and are now ready to stick with this roster. The expectation is that the Bulls will end up trading their two veteran stars at some point this season.
And thanks to their form, there should be more interest now than there was in the summer.
According to Robert Peterson on X, the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors have expressed interest in Vucevic.
Both the Lakers and Warriors have exceeded expectations so far this season but they are still far from being genuine contenders. Adding players like Vucevic could change that. Both Western Conference giants are in a similar situation when it comes to their future plans.
They must adopt a ‘win now’ approach with LeBron James and Stephen Curry in the twilight of their storied careers.
Both superstars are searching for their fifth ring but as things stand, they need a bit more help for that to be a realistic target. Of course, Vucevic is not someone who can power a franchise to a Championship.
But he has shown that he has the ability to still produce at an All-Star level and he can definitely be a key piece on a contender.
