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.”
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.
