“I’m Content With Staying in Chicago Regardless of What Happens”
Jimmy Butler has arrived in San Francisco, and amidst a night of thrilling NBA trades, Nikola Vučević’s potential move to the same city has surfaced again.
The Montenegrin center has long been identified as a target for the Golden State Warriors, and reports from American media indicate that the “Warriors” are still interested in the Chicago Bulls player.
Nonetheless, as the trade deadline approaches, Vučević remains composed.
“I don’t anticipate much action before the trade deadline. If I stay in Chicago, I’ll be content,” Vučević stated.
He notched a double-double against Minnesota last night, although it wasn’t enough to secure a win for the team. Reporters speculated if that might have been his final game in a Bulls jersey.
“I don’t feel that way; I don’t think this was my last game for Chicago,” Vučević expressed decisively.
With DeMar DeRozan having departed earlier and Zach LaVine leaving this January, the NBA reports that only Vučević remains from the Bulls’ “big three.”
“As I mentioned, I will be happy, and I want to finish the season strong with these guys. I hope we can stay in the play-in zone,” the Montenegrin reiterated.
Vučević is currently in his 14th season in the top basketball league, performing at a high level—averaging 19.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.
