Nikola Vucevic is the Bulls ultimate asset for developing Giddey and Buzelis

Nikola Vucevic has been at the center of trade discussions for quite some time, having been linked to the Golden State for most of last season and into the offseason. For some fans, the idea of parting ways with the seasoned big man seems like the sensible choice for a team in the midst of a rebuild.

Here's the real question: in a season where the Bulls aren't title contenders, is flipping Vucevic for a limited return really smarter than letting him fuel the development of Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis? The answer is no.

Patience is a virtue

Temptation to trade a veteran for "future assets" is strong, but patience is often undervalued.
