Julia Poe: Nikola Vučević said tonight didn’t feel like his last game in a Bulls jersey. Doesn’t expect much to happen before tomorrow’s deadline. “If I stay here I’ll be happy.”

Bulls players found out about Lonzo’s extension at halftime of tonight’s game. Reaction was overwhelmingly positive.
Vooch: “I’m very, very happy. I can’t think of many people who are more deserving to get that extension than him. It’s great that he’s gonna stay with us.” – 11:13 PM

I hate this for the Warriors.
Maybe Jimmy Butler is a completely different player with a better attitude.
But if the move wasn’t for Durant, I would have kept Wiggins (80% Butler?) and gone for a Vucevic.
Hope I’m wrong because I love Steph and want him to win. – 9:42 PM

If you want my reactions to the Lonzo extension, then check this out. Last week, I wrote on why the Bulls should desperately try to trade Vooch, keep LaVine, and move on from Lonzo Ball. So far, they’re doing the exact opposite.

The big man market is slowly starting to move.
Nick Richards, Anthony Davis, and today, Daniel Theis and Jonas Valanciunas get traded.
Many others still on the board like Nikola Vucevic, Jakob Poeltl, John Collins, Clint Capela. Robert Williams, Steven Adams, and Chris Boucher. – 5:31 PM

Bulls are hoping these Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Golden State talks all stall out. As reported by the Sun-Times, Nikola Vucevic is the consolation prize in waiting. Less than 24 hours to go. – 3:05 PM

If the Warriors don’t land Butler or shock the NBA world by prying a co-star from elsewhere across the landscape, they are expected to move onto secondary pursuits like Nikola Vučević and Brandon Ingram. One team source described them as still “determined” to get something done prior to Thursday’s deadline. -via New York Times / February 5, 2025
According to multiple sources, Karnisovas had two deals for center Nikola Vucevic fall apart Tuesday, forcing the front office into a complete reset that might result in Vucevic staying with the Bulls for the rest of the season, then being shopped during the summer. One of the sources stressed the situation remained fluid. But as of game time Tuesday against the Heat, there was no momentum for a deal to be done and no new talks with another team. -via Chicago Sun-Times / February 4, 2025
