> Chicago had internal conversations regarding Poeltl ahead of last year’s deadline, sources said, and the Bulls are one team rival executives are closely monitoring as a potential seller. Buyers around the league are waiting for more teams than the Spurs, Magic, Pistons and Rockets to open for business.
> There are no ongoing contract extension conversations between the Bulls and Nikola Vucevic, sources told Yahoo Sports. Chicago never truly had significant negotiations to restructure its starting center’s deal. Whether that points to greater trade activity with the Bulls, of course, remains to be seen. Chicago officials have told inquiring teams they believe they can make the playoffs when healthy.

Who’s in the market for a half-a-season worth of a stretch big with good rebounding and no defense?
Wendell carter is already getting close to his level when you consider his defense. L trade. You could argue with wcj’s 16 ppg on 62 TS% and his positive defense he’s better than vuc currently.
AKME moved Carter, Gafford, Thad Young and didn’t extend Theis. Let Lauri go. All to make this stupid Vuc trade work.
I don’t know how they are not in the hot seat for these disasters. Now if they don’t even extend him it will all have been for nothing. Absolutely terrible front office. This roster is a disaster and they still think they might make the playoffs?Delusional dudes that can’t admit mistakes. The Bulls are going no where with them.
This season has been so ugly I kinda don’t care if we just blow it up tbh. Only guy I want locked into Chicago for years to come is Pat Williams and will be extremely upset if he finds his way into any trade packages
So this means the bulls are more or less likely to be sellers?
Get whatever you can for Vuc, send Demar to a contender
Let Zach shoot his way back into his 2021 self and Pat develop into the star he can be
Hope Lonzo is good next season and see who we can pick up in the summer.
Im so down for all of that. Honestly
He’s gonna get traded around the deadline when the Bulls are out of it and a team gets desperate.
Bulls fans give me a rundown on why this guy sucks
so just give up WCJ, a pick that became Franz and a ‘23 1st just to let him walk? what a plan lmao
ORLANDO SIGN THIS MAN IN OFFSEASON. I DONT EVEN CARE IF THE ROSTER WONT MAKE ANY SENSE. COMPLETE THE FLEECENING!
I’m glad the Kings are finally smart enough to avoid this trade completely, I like Vuc but he wouldn’t fit with us at the moment
If we actually get two firsts for poeltl I might cry
I’d take him on the Heat with Bam.
He gone?
