More on this storyline

There was one report that said the Bulls were looking for a first-round pick in the 2025 draft in the package for Vucevic, but a source recently said that’s not necessarily the case. Very few teams – even playoff caliber – are hanging first-round picks out there for ’25, so multiple second rounders are more likely going to be included. -via Chicago Sun-Times / December 25, 2024

The Phoenix Suns have been actively looking to trade starting center Jusuf Nurkic, league sources informed The Arizona Republic. The Suns (14-14) are seeking a big in return, the sources said.
