This is the BEST TRADE Scenario …
it’s been reported that the Chicago Bulls are actively shopping Nia vuik we’re going to be talking about some hypothetical trades which would ship Vu off and what this would look like for the Chicago Bulls this is your host Rico greenhow and this is another episode of bulls digest before we go ahead and jump into it wanted to let you guys know that 78.3% of you guys that watch the videos are not subscribed to the channel make sure you hit that subscribe button so you can stay up toate with the latest news and happenings around your Chicago Bulls and without further Ado guys let’s go ahead and jump into the hot topic of the day which is uh hypothetical trades that the Chicago Bulls could explore uh in getting uh V off the roster guys so look we know that we’ve been shopping Zack LaVine but we’ve also been trying to move Vu as well and mainly because Vu has had a decline in play I think notably he has shot 29% from downtown which was a huge dip and also too there were statistics out there that suggest that um Vu we weren’t as good with Vu on the floor guys and so Not only was his play pretty bad last season but I think that there is other factors that are factoring in the fact of why the Chicago Bulls are looking to move on and I think mainly it is because quite Frank we’re haunted by the nightmare uh of the trade that we made to get vu in the first place and you know this was kind of thrown out there in an article I thought that this would be terrific to look at guys to put this in context as to uh what are some of the pain points that the Chicago Bulls fans are facing now that we see this version of Vu uh number one guys you’re going to look at this one here we traded wendle Carter Jr uh it talks about the fact that a straightup swap is just not going to happen at this point in time but look it says that wend Carter Jr has outperformed vu in the plus minus in each of his last two full seasons and he’s also locked into a declining four-year deal that sees him being paid 10.8 million in 2526 so not only is the contract favorable out there to Orlando um also too he’s statistically he’s outplayed Vu at this point in time and so you know another thing that is a paino for us Chicago Bulls fans is that the picks that we sent off uh turned into France Wagner here and so look he has average 18.6 points per game 4.1 rebounds a game and 3.5 assist and now he has gone off and he signed a nice extension guys so these are two pain points to go along with the fact that Vu hasn’t particularly played well and the one thing that I will say about this is that if he is not uh traded I think that a lot of people probably feel more comfortable with Vu being on the roster than they did with Zack LaVine which I think is a little bit of Madness because I think that both have showed uh a lot of professionalism and I think that Vu has been straightforward I think that V the moment that he signed this deal he said look we have underperformed and he’s like look I really feel like this is going to be maybe one of our last seasons together when he was referring to Lavine D rozan and him and he’s probably right on par and I think that it it’s not necessarily anything that Vu has done I mean he’s just declined at 33 you know you hope that he’s able to pick it back up maybe a little bit uh there is the talk that now that Demar D rozan is gone maybe he has a little bit more space on the offensive end of the floor um you know but he’s still when you look at it with the decline and everything guys he’s still an 18 and 10 guy I mean so you know there is a lot of teams out there that would want the 18 and 10 I just don’t know if they’re wanting necessarily the contract at this point in time which is not terrible uh but just with him being on a decline we don’t know what is going to happen so I’m just saying if Vu does come back I don’t think it’s going to be a disaster and I absolutely feel like somebody at the trade deadline would definitely want Vu now that moves into the next part of the video Guys these are my hypothetical trades that I went ahead and looked at the trade proposal machine there and all these work financially and there’s a couple teams that I’m thinking that this possibly could work um and so first I’m going to start off here with Toronto I think that there is a place where Toronto does take on Vu I think that you know Vu would probably go well uh with RJ Barrett with quickley uh with Scotty Barnes and I feel like he’s a guy that operates um nicely in their spacing I think that yes he doesn’t necessarily run with them but when the when when they do need a halfcourt basket I think that they could go to the experience here of uh Vu and I think that you know he can definitely help them there and you know certainly I think he’s going to help them with the rebounding efforts as well too and so with us we get Bruce Brown over here mainly guys I know he’s 6’4 and he’s a guard but look at that you get the one expiring deal so it’s an expiring deal guys and it’s not like Bruce Brown is you know super old or anything like that but he has been uh on the championship team with the nuggets and I’m just thinking that you know perhaps this might be um you know something that the Chicago Bulls could possibly explore in order to maybe get a little bit of experience over there to help us grow and then also to we can get off that contract especially if it does not work guys and so the last deal that I’m going to bring up and this is mainly suggest suggested by not only a team that was talked about before in the Portland Trailblazers because there was something on the table where I think it was Jeremy Grant and Aiden um for Vu and LaVine which we still could do but I think in light of what they talked about in this Sacramento King situation where the Bulls are not wanting to take on um you know the contracts and things like that you know I think that this is a little bit more of a tricky situation um I mean they’re still going to take back some contracts but I think that the players that they would take back it would maybe fit the timeline in this rebuild SL retool that we’re in and I also think too it would move you off some players that the Chicago Bulls have been pretty uncertain about and shout out to the person in the comment that also mentioned this as well because I threw this third team in there uh just because guys and so look I’m thinking that it’s a three te deal and let’s start with the Hornets I think that the Hornets would go ahead and get Lonzo ball over here to play with his brother lamelo ball all right and they maybe take a chance with that Dynamic with Brandon Miller perhaps they take a chance with this younger crew and they think that hey maybe Lonzo will come back with lamelo and perhaps we can push the pace in the East there I think with the Trailblazers it was talked about that they wanted to possibly move on from Aiden um and then to Jeremy Grant maybe they take a chance with Vu here um and then they try to figure out something that they’re going to do with Aiden why they bring along Donovan Klean um that could possibly be something that would work um you know here’s a guy that is experienced and maybe he comes in and he plays like what that Malcolm brogon role was for the Trailblazers here and for the Chicago Bulls they get Jeremy Grant and then they get Grant Williams over here so you’re looking at the contracts guys I mean the one thing that I want to point out with Grant Williams he’s 25 years old you get Jeremy Grant here uh I think he’s going to be 30 but you’re seeing the four years and the three years here but the one thing that I want to point out is that these guys play the power forward position and Jeremy Grant actually can play the small forward position as well these are positions of need for the Chicago Bulls and these guys I think would be able to run with Giddy and the young Bulls as well and be able to knock down some shots I think that both of these guys are able to extend the floor for the Chicago Bulls and they also bring a bit of toughness too as well because look Grant Williams was in the NBA Finals with the Celtics Jeremy Grant was on some great uh Denver Nugget teams as well guys and so I think that this is why this deal particularly uh could work for the Chicago Bulls I know they’re taking back some contracts and the one thing that I want to throw out there guys is that this still works we’re still under the T guys and this is without moving Zack LaVine I’m going to say that again that’s without moving Zack LaVine so Zack LaVine would still be on the team you still have an option to move on from Zack LaVine or with the young pieces you get a chance to see uh is there a reset that possibly can happen with a little bit of younger veterans I would say to go along with our young core and you get a chance to see it does How does Zack LaVine respond there is this the new change of scenery for Zack LaVine because those players don’t necessarily do the same things that Zack LaVine um does so you know my my my real question about that is just does it would it stop us then from like getting bazus and guys like that the minutes that would be my only thing there all right but it does get you off of v and it does also too get you off of um off of Lonzo ball as well guys and so when we look at the statistics again with Grant Williams he’s given you some solid numbers you look at what he was able to do with a young team in Charlotte last year this is why I think you are pretty impressed if you get him over here because he did go out there and get 13 points a game shot 76% from the line which is always a good thing he’s shooting about 37% from downtown guys and so look he’s going to give you that stability and I think defensively as a quarterback out there that’s what you want and then with Jeremy Grant he’s always been a score guys he he knows how to be a score he’s a professional scorer and aside from that you are getting a guy that is going to get you about four to you know three to four rebounds a game um and he’s also going to be able to you know facilitate the offense in the way that he’s going to be able to be a bit more creative um you know from the outside he’s not necessarily just going to slash to the basket he has a a three- tier game like he can score at all three levels so I think that that kind of opens you up a little bit more as well um so you know let me know in the comments what you guys are thinking do you like the hypothetical tradeit that I’ve suggested where we go ahead and we add the third team with the Charlotte Hornets do you like the first deal where we just make something simple with Toronto we have a contract that essentially that we can throw off the books after a year or do you feel like hey no deal at all none of these interest me I’d like to see something better for V and even though we don’t know what we are going to do with the two players that we’re shopping out there between LaVine and Vu I’m still saying go bulls and I’ll see you guys on the next one peace peace peace

Vuc played 82gms
I like Vuc but he is getting old. He will play well with a contender….think our coach was so bad that he and Drummond weren’t used correctly. I would be more inclined to get rid of him not Lavine because of age….omg yes Wagner is a rising star…..how do we still have Donavan and the Gm…don’t even want to know his name……he will play well in the right system….since the bulls don’t have a system…he was played incorrectly
Vuc is a soft player. He cannot defend.
Bulls heading into complete tank mode for Cooper Flagg. Gonna be a rough season.
I think Vooch can still be good in our team as long as zach is gone. We can just either put him in the 4 or 5 with Smith and P.will or Buzelis at the 3 for me that is still a good line up.
I rather have zach be traded bec Vooch at least plays as a team.
how about trading LaVine to Jazz for PF's John Collins & Lauri Markkanen? the salaries line up almost perfectly, according to NBA Trade Machine.
The best case was making calls before the Nba draft Not After 😅. Before how many 2nd Rd or worse graded Centers went in the 1st Rd? At 20mil. 😂😂😂 AK had a press conference half asleep at pick 20!!! That's Not covering all your bases. 💯 I Guarantee, Guarantee, During the draft we could of got a 1st in the Teens, a future protected pick, and a salary filler likely. Not alot since it's 20mil. They are just Not doing their jobs. Caruso….You couldn't work on Okc for any picks??? A Future 2nd in 2321? 😂😂😂 Nothing. I like Giddey but they are just not good GMs. 4-5 Ranked player fell to them at 11. Hopefully they play him at PF like they should. pWill at SF.
Bulls ain’t trading Vooch there’s not one team that wants him
