The Lakers great opportunity to strengthen the center! The Bulls sell Vucevic, asking for the price as low as the last signing in the first round

Basketball

The NBA Bulls have failed to make the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, and the demolition of the existing lineup has been put on the agenda. After trading DeRozan last year, the team's age structure has become younger. Obviously, the 34-year-old Vucevic is not within the future reconstruction plan.

The Bulls, which are aiming to quickly rebuild, hope to trade Vucevic before the draft begins. The required chips have been reduced to only one first-round final draft pick, or some potential rookies are fine. It seems to be a real-life sale.

So what kind of bargaining chips are Vucevic worth? Let’s analyze it. First of all, in terms of data, Vucevic can contribute 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game during the regular season this season, with a shooting percentage of 53% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.2%! In terms of technical characteristics, Vucevic has comprehensive scoring methods, high three-point shooting percentage, good support ability, and good rebounding and secondary offensive ability, but his disadvantages are also obvious, namely, slow movement speed on the defensive end and limited defensive coverage, which is easy to be targeted by the opponent.

The Lakers have lacked capable big centers in recent seasons. After joining Doncic this season, they lacked the centers with shooting ability to open up the offensive breakthrough space. It seems that the Lakers' main competitor is the Warriors, because they also want to get center players like Vucevic.
