Trade Lavine. He hasn’t played like a Big 3 player in neither this season, nor last season.
Feet to slow. Reaction time to slow and hands to slow compared to the centers today. Those are easy points giving and easy second chance points, rebounds etc for the the other team.
Keep him. Unless some star is disgruntled or something magical happens, our path to improvement is playing good basketball now that our young guys can learn from until vets like Vooch and Demar age out, and then get aggressive if our core pieces (can be Zach, Zo, and Pwill) are clicking and need complimentary pieces. As much as this season has sucked for completely stupid reasons, there is a path to a perennial playoff team. Vooch is one of the pillars to getting out of the gutter and we as fans need to patient unless AKME are doing blatantly boneheaded moves.
Hang onto him. Buy or trade for a traditional defensive 5 & let Vuc loose on the oppositions bench players
No trade resign 100%
To be honest, I still really believe in Vucevic as a high level player, and believe he’s quite underrated. I view him as one of the better big men in the league. Of course he’s not Jokic or Embiid, but he’s still great. He offers a lot that people turn a blind eye to, such as his elite playmaking skill as a big. I hope we resign him, I’ll be quite disappointed to see him traded or walk in free agency.
Don’t like him last year but like him this year..why? Just like every other player entering free agency they always play extra hard to improve their stats. I’m guessing Vuc’s stats next year wont be as good as this year.
Donovan sure knows how to use Vucevic, but use of Vucevic is a problem for a franchise. I will try to explain. In last 10 to 15 games when ever they played through Vooch bulls were wining. However Donovan cannot put Vooch as 1st ofense option, he has task to base the game on Derozan and Lavine as main players. Thats how l see it. Usually they base game on him in the first minutes when he gives most of his points. Later, the game focus is on Derozan and Zack.
I bet vucevic will get 4 years
V isn't the problem. The coaching staff has not found the identity of this team . Sometimes, Z head isn't in the game he can learn so much from D. What it means to lead a team .
Trade all of them, including the coach. Yeah, maybe we'll make the play in but we're much closer to the #1 pick then a 2nd rd team. These dudes are going nowhere.
Plain and simple if they are not planning on re-signing him trade his ass we don't a repeat of pau gasol
Re-sign 4 Yr / $54,000.000-$60 Mill
Keep Vuc = Trade #Williams & #Coby
🙂 Since the start of 2023 13 games he's averaging 20-13-4.5 shooting 55.3% and 36.7% 3pt. Offensively this is more like it.
Keep him. For another 2 years.
I can see us give him 30 million a year.
when BD uses him correctly he is an allstar. if anyone is untradeable its vuc
What you've so very effectively explained also explained why Zach Lavine's injury just before last year's trade deadline was so significant.
Just like this is our last chance to trade Vuc, that was our last chance to trade Zach. He cancelled that opportunity, and fast-forwarded to max money negotiations with the Bulls, when he pulled up hurt.
Resign him…just practice more on 3 points attempt…pass more to him…get Kai Sotto for center power forward position for rim protection, offensive and depensive rebound… perimeter shots and 39 percent of 3 point shots…can dunk…. good for dunk pass…can help a lot…thank you very much…. 🙏💖🌱
I do not want Vooch back, I think the Bulls should trade him.
Bulls should try to get cole Anthony I think he fit right in with this team the magic have Suggs & fultz
What about Plumlee putting up a career game against him like nothing? Get rid of him, This roster needs defense. Defensive centers are needed nowadays. Clax, Looney, Rob Williams, Horford, etc.
He simply doesn't fit the timeline. Bulls will probably have to rebuild in the next year or two. If they can get a decent prospect and a first(or two first but unlikely) they should take it. If not they should see if they can get him to sign a trade friendly contract so he can be moved next year.
