Q&A: Bulls center Nikola Vucevic on free agency, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, more

Bulls center Nikola Vucevic discussed his free agency future and trio with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine with HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.

After making the playoffs last year for the first time since 2017, the Chicago Bulls are in danger of another lottery finish with several looming questions.

Chicago has been without starting point guard Lonzo Ball since Jan. 14, 2022. Will he ever return to form? Zach LaVine struggled through November, and his name surfaced in several trade rumors. Can he be a core piece for Chicago if the Bulls want to contend for a title? DeMar DeRozan has remained consistent but turns 34 this summer. Are the Bulls better off trading him this summer while his value is high? Nikola Vucevic has improved his offensive efficiency this season but will become one of the top unrestricted free agents on the market this summer, as noted in our HoopsHype rankings. Will he be re-signed?

Vucevic discussed his upcoming free agency, what’s different about the DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Vucevic trio this season, his future goals, the trade deadline, and more with HoopsHype during a recent postgame interview at Barclays Center.
