Following the mid-season trade that sent star guard Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings, the Bulls appear to have entered a new rebuilding phase. Now, they’re expected to evaluate what remains of the roster from their recent push toward contention.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bulls will once again explore trade options for veteran center Nikola Vucevic, who is entering the final year of his contract, valued at just over $21 million.

Despite Chicago’s struggles, Vucevic remains a highly capable contributor and could be a valuable piece for a contending team.

This season, he averaged 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game—solid numbers that reaffirm his status as one of the league’s top offensive big men.
