But it's not all about offense. He's also such a defensive liability that Chicago collapses on every drive and leaves the 3P line wide open because they don't trust Vuc to stop anyone going to the basket, causing Chicago to have the 29th 3 point defense in the league 2 years in a row.

He power walks up & down the court like a suburban mom and since he has to be part of the P&R, we have the 30th pace in the league.

But other than all that he's been fine. Good rebounder.

Dude! You. Are. Blowing. It.

Trade Lonzo and Vucevic for Ben Simmons

[CROBulls]

He's such a negative on defense that I can't see many teams willing to pay him or give him a big role. Bigs that can't stay on the floor because of their defense are becoming increasingly rare in the current NBA

Issue isnt even this. Many teams have big man which is not good on defense and needs to be covered. And even when they covered for them you need to have perfect fit. Like with Sabonis for example. But there is clear difference between them.

Issue is actually on offense. Vuc isnt anymore that guy on offense. He is one of least efficient players in the NBA averaging at least 15ppg. And he is being like that for few years now.

[Ayt]

Why would a decent team want him? What is he good at?

[Repeat 3-peat]

I hope so.

[Tor_Raps]

His game seems to be made for the Warriors. He's a great passer for a Center and has enough scoring prowess to become benefit from Steph's gravity. He has Draymond to help offset his defensive liabilities.

[CBS7]

I think he could be a contributor on a contender. Like a 7th or 8th dude. Assuming he gets his 3pt% back up to 35ish, though.

[Xatticus]

how about getting him to OKC?

I'm all for it as long as he is in the visitors' locker room.

The Great Polished Turd

[Celts17Pride]

Your thread makes sense, but Chicago is dead set on winning 36-42 games every single year, and trading Vucevic would derail that goal.

Too bad for Chicago. Chicago is in pretty good position right now to rebuild if they get rid of LaVine, Vucevic and Derozan.

[pipfan]

He has zero athleticism, was literally the least efficient high volume jump shooter in the NBA last season, and the Bulls were that good on defense in spite of Vuc due to having pretty good POA defenders and having success OVERhelping due to Vuc's limitations. This is why they give up so many 3s.

He's a connector who has a high bball IQ, but he is nothing more than a role player at this point.

He would be amazing bum slayer for higher end team that doesn’t need him starting

Exactly how I feel. He would work in OKC, behind Chet and play with him. He's a good bum slayer and a big body/solid rebounder

[DOT]

I think like people mentioned, the big problem is Chicago is content with just paddling away and winning as many games as they can right now with no regard for the future

Plus, he doesn't have a ton of value, unless they're legit just blowing it up and doing a hard reset, they're not gonna recoup value from him

I'm just guessing here, but I think this is a case of the Bulls not being profitable enough if they suck, so ownership is doing everything they can to stay afloat rather than trying to actually build a competitive team. It's unfortunate, but it's the reality of sports under capitalism that profit and winning games aren't always the same thing.

[Johnny Bball]

If you moved Vuc to the Celtics, even the Celtics could't win with the guy.

[Hangtime84]

Why would a decent team want him? What is he good at?

destroying 2nd units

[jpengland]

Inefficient C chucker with slow feet and offers little rim protection?

The only teams looking at him should be those tanking

[SweetTouch]

A horrible defender

So bad it looks like he doesn’t try but he just is incapable of defense

[Dominator83]

His game seems to be made for the Warriors. He's a great passer for a Center and has enough scoring prowess to become benefit from Steph's gravity. He has Draymond to help offset his defensive liabilities.

cp3 for Vuc straight up?

Pretty sure Chicago would be able to get a few decent assets for Vuc who's on a reasonable deal with the cap going up.
