The general consensus is that the Chicago Bulls are sellers. And while the Bulls always seem hellbent on competing, they enter the 2025–26 season with seven expiring contracts — chief among them 34-year-old Nikola Vucevic, who’s seemingly been on the trade block for a millennium.
Vucevic, who turns 35 in the coming weeks, no longer fits with the Bulls’ young core. He still provides value as a floor-spacer, but he’s no longer essential to a Chicago team with its sights set on the next era. After dangling Vucevic as trade bait a season ago, the Bulls’ likelihood of finally moving the 6-foot-10 big man has only grown as he enters the final year of the three-year deal he signed in 2023.
