It is revealed that Vucevic may be cut by the Bulls! Lakers media said that Duffy can promote the Lakers to sign, but Mr. Pei won again?

On July 28, according to Yahoo Sports, if the Chicago Bulls fail to trade Nikola Vucevic, the team will consider directly cutting the veteran center, and the Bulls are committed to a younger lineup.

The Bulls had negotiations with the Warriors, and the Bulls had always been interested in getting Jonathan Kumingga, but the Warriors refused to take over Vucevic's contract in this deal. The Warriors were interested in the Bulls' White and Gidey. The Bulls were unwilling to give White, and Gidey's contract had not been finalized, which led to the stranding of the transaction negotiations.

35-year-old Vucevic averaged 18.5 points, 10 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.84 steals, 0.71 blocks last season, with a shooting percentage of 53% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.2%. If he is cut, he can join a competitive team with a minimum salary, which will definitely help this team.

Lakers media said bluntly: I really hope that the Lakers can sign Nikola Vucevic, and his joining can greatly improve the flexibility of the lineup.

Laker Central wrote: The Lakers currently have only one real center (Aiton). If Vucevic is bought out, we will definitely compete for him, and you should know that his agent is Bill Duffy, who is Doncic and Aiton's agent.

As we all know, the Lakers' operations this summer have little to do with Pelinka. Laravia was signed because of Reeves' recruitment, and Ayton and Smart were signed because of Doncic's recruitment. Pelinka almost always wins. If Vucevic is really bought out, Bill Duffy will also push him to join the Lakers. Currently, there are still opens on the Lakers' 14+2 roster, and the Lakers can provide a veteran's basic salary to Vucevic.

If Vucevic can really be signed, then the Lakers' trading goal may be changed to a forward line and their interest in Rowe will decline.
