It's safe to say the Chicago Bulls are in an era of transition. Former stalwarts Alex Caruso, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Lonzo Ball have all been traded in the span of a year. Gone are the days of the middling, perpetually underperforming Bulls, and underway is a heightened sense of optimism fueled by youth.
Yet, there's one holdover from the early 2020s squad who somehow remains. That's Nikola Vucevic, who's now been in the Windy City for four years, going on five. The 34-year-old big man is the eldest Bull by five years. Vucevic will turn 35 years old on October 24—a day after opening night.
