Nikola Vucevic's play during EuroBasket 2025 may hand Bulls some unexpected options

Nikola Vucevic has been one of the most productive centers at this year's FIBA EuroBasket tournament, and it could create some intriguing decisions for the Chicago Bulls once the 2025-26 NBA season starts.

The Bulls have been interested in trading their soon-to-be 35-year-old center for more than a year, as he no longer fits the system head coach Billy Donovan employs. Donovan wants to cause havoc on defense and run in transition at every opportunity -- Vucevic is a bad defender and far more comfortable in a half-court offense.

Still, there's something to be said for having an experienced big man on the floor with a young roster, especially one who's still productive despite his advanced basketball age.
