I am the only one who thinks being 30 isn't a big deal?

Lavine has never been even close to the playoffs and Vuc has been to the 1st round twice. How does this stabilize us as a playoff team?


Vuce has never played with someone as good as Zach and Zach has never played with someone as good as Vuce.

f you cant see how this could be really really good, I dont know else what to say.

People focus so much on age. If you get 2-3 years of great production from Vuc, helps you get to the 2nd round, possibly farther...

Wouldn't you say it was worth it?

I'm thrilled, both that they dumped off Otto's contract and WCJ's disappointing self, and that they brought in someone who could flourish in Donovan's offence and bolster this team for the future. A strong, confident move, and if it works out well enough, the picks will be mostly irrelevant anyway.

When is the last time the bulls traded away a first round pick? Paxson wouldn’t even entertain that idea.

I dont mind trading picks for All-Star. They took our garbage for All-Star in prime. But I would feel lot more confident if 2021 1st was to be top 3 protected. 2023 who cares. if they are not, still ok. But that would be just bad luck Bulls traded pick when we move up in lottery.

At least Bulls picked f direction. And i couldnt hope for more. This is it, people. We now can be NBA basketball team.

Define really good?

I can see how Vuce + Lavine + strong playmaking perimeter player can be the basis of a very high level offense. I don't see where we're getting that 3rd star though.

And defensively, I think you can be solid, but I feel like there's an obvious ceiling if you're building around Vuce + Lavine.

I kinda feel the same. 30 makes me a little nervous, but his game isn't all that reliant on athleticism.

I'm pretty much ok with "Top 4 protection" since I'm not very very high on this upcoming draft class. We got a big in his prime and this guy has some more GOOD years left. More imprtant....we got rid of WCJ and OPJ......thank god.

2023 pick....who cares.....we won't be a LOTTERY TEAM.....GOOOO BULLLLS

The Bulls just don't give up anything this year

Seems like Orlando is rebuilding again so this move isn’t bad for them. Otto contract is expiring, they might even buy him out.Carter is only 21 they can give him a chance to see if he can turn things around as their starting center and then they get 2 first round picks for which is what a rebuilding team needs.

I'm sure Miami isnt mad they signed Butler at 30. We don't need Vuc here 10 years to make this trade worth it.
