No one wants Vucevic either.

Vucević is a hard sell on the trade market because he is overpaid. He’s also overrated, according to Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes, who in a new article Tuesday ranked Vucević as the No. 4 most overrated NBA player of the last five years.

“The Chicago Bulls certainly overrated Nikola Vučević when they sent out Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter Jr. and a pair of future first-round picks to land him in 2021,” Hughes said.

“Vučević has mostly been an empty-calorie stat-stuffer … he's essentially a high-usage offensive piece who can't score efficiently because he never draws fouls, doesn't shoot enough threes and converts his low rate of rim attempts at a middling clip. The 33-year-old's steady diet of mid-range jumpers is offensive poison, and he's been a catastrophically negative force on defense in three of the last five years.”

Will they win more games than the Sox? Probably.

"three year window".

Golly, if only Lonzo hadn't gotten hurt, who knows how many layups he could've missed.

I am starting to think only women make Leila squirt like that female Bears running back coach.

They shouldn't have resigned him to a 3 year deal. All of this was true and they still decided to resign him to remain competitive.

At this point in his career, he shouldn't be playing more than 20-25 minutes a night and that should be dependent on matchups. For the current Bulls team, he's probably still around 30 minutes a night and probably starting.
