Finally we can move on from this prolonged period of losing with Vuc at center. Hes simply not a winning player to build around.

Holy crap. I did NOT see WeHam trading Vuc. They do next to nothing for 4 years and now they start shipping out Hennigan’s guys? I know this is an instant reaction and all the details might not be out, but that return seems a little light.

Bulls are 20th in the league right now. Let’s go Vuc tank with the Bulls this year. You owe us that!

All kidding aside, I think we sold low but with future pics you never know. Glad we got rid of Aminu’s contract!

Would have rather wanted Coby White than Otto, but they got 2 first rounders. Would be nice to see a pick swap included also.

Now, it's another rebuild starting with a bad return here.

2021 and 2023 draft picks. Misread sorry. Knicks got something similar for KP I guess that was the barometer of the deal.

Now I've got over the initial shock, it's not that good of a return is it?

have to imagine if Vuc quietly was one of the players who shared "frustration with all the losing" and asked out.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

I meant people will be happy not seeing Vuc anymore, regardless of the deal.

Why won't the picks be good? They might not be good. Chicago might not make the playoffs this year. Lavine has one year left.

They are probably the lowest team in the standings that would have traded for Vuc.

They're like one LaVine or Vucevic ankle roll away from that being a wildly valuable pick.

THINK OF IT THIS WAY:

We traded Vuc for Cade Cunningham, or Jalen Green, or Suggs.

Everything we got from Chicago is icing.
