Top 3 Landing Spots For Bulls Trade Candidate Nikola Vucevic
HoopsHype's Michael Scotto noted that the Bulls could even score a first-round pick for him.
With that, we take a look at the top 3 landing spots for Vucevic:
Golden State Warriors
The Dubs are seen as the favorites to land the two-time All-Star, as they're focused on beefing up their frontcourt ahead of the deadline to solidify their lineup. He could take loads of pressure off Steph Curry, both in scoring, spreading the floor, and even facilitating. It's not certain they'd be comfortable sending a first-rounder, however.
Orlando Magic
Vucevic became an All-Star in Central Florida, spending 8 1/2 seasons with the Magic earlier in his career. They know full well what he can, as he averaged over 20 points a game in his last three years there.
With Moritz Wagner out for the season, Orlando can use a solid replacement in the frontcourt.
LA Lakers
Always a team to watch at the deadline, the Lakers have been in the market for a center all season. And while they have made some trades already, for a power forward, Dorian Finney-Smith, and a backup point guard in Shake Milton, they have yet to address their need down low. They've been tied to Jonas Valanciunas for several months now, but Vucevic would be an ideal add for them as well.
