Chicago Bulls: Nikola Vucevic’s Stance on Golden State Warriors Trade Revealed
Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic have been two of the Chicago Bulls’ standout performers this season. Despite that, it might be in the best interest of the organization to trade them, as they seek to rebuild after several years of mediocrity and struggles to get into the playoffs.
LaVine has recently been linked with a potential move to the Golden State Warriors to be the secondary scorer behind an ageing Stephen Curry, who is showing signs of slowing down.
LaVine is not the only Bulls player to be linked with a move to the Bay Area lately. It is the case for his longtime teammate, Vucevic, as well.
Would Vucevic want the Bulls to trade him to the Warriors though? Well, according to an article in The Athletic from Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II: “The Warriors have discussed Nikola Vučević, and league sources say the Chicago Bulls big man views Golden State as a desirable destination should Chicago decide to deal him.”
Vucevic has put together an impressive season so far. He is averaging a double-double with 19.8 points and 10.3 rebounds per game while shooting an incredibly efficient 54.6% from the field and 39.3% from three-point range.
So, it is not hard to see why the Warriors might hold interest in acquiring the veteran center from the Bulls as we head towards the Feb 6 trade deadline.
There are some concerns about whether Vucevic would be enough of a game-changer for the Warriors at this point in time. That remains to be seen.
One thing is clear though, Golden State need to make something happen over the next week if they are to have any hopes of putting up a title challenge this season.
