The Chicago Bulls have seemingly leaned into a rebuild this offseason. The Bulls traded veteran guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddey, and then signed-and-traded veteran wing DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings.
However, trades haven’t been found for Zach LaVine or Nikola Vucevic to really push the rebuilding efforts forward. In fact, there seems to be no market available for either player.
Trade talks for LaVine haven’t gone anywhere, and cap space to absorb LaVine’s contract has mostly dried up. The market for Vucevic never really developed in the first place, with teams wary of taking on the veteran center’s contract.
LaVine is owed $137.9 million over the next three seasons. Vucevic is on the books for $41.5 million over the next two seasons.
