It may be a new offseason for the Chicago Bulls, but it\u2019s largely the same story as before. For the third consecutive season, the Bulls\u2019 front office is tasked with improving a roster that fell short of reaching the playoffs in the previous year.<\/p>\n

There are no quick fixes. Unlike the Dallas Mavericks, the Bulls don\u2019t have the first pick, they\u2019re not in line to land a potential superstar in the 2025 NBA Draft, where Chicago holds the 12th overall selection.<\/p>\n

However, according to Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com<\/a>, the Bulls will be trying to trade two-time All-Star Nikola Vucevic this offseason.<\/p>\n

Of course, for basketball fans who have paid close attention, this is nothing new. Vooch has been on the trade block for several years, but Chicago hasn\u2019t been able to find a trade partner presenting a respectable offer for their talented starting center.<\/p>\n

Vucevic is coming off his seventh consecutive season of averaging a double-double, meaning he\u2019s still playing at a high level, even at age 34. However, he\u2019s also headed into season two of a three-year, $60 million contract and is set to have a cap hit of $20 million in 2025.<\/p>\n

Chicago is likely seeking at least a first-round pick in exchange for the Swiss native. Whether any team is willing to pay the price remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
