Nikola Vucevic, Warriors have mutual interest

.

The Warriors have discussed Nikola Vučević, and league sources say the Chicago Bulls big man views Golden State as a desirable destination should Chicago decide to deal him. There are differing opinions on how well he’d fit and how much he’s needed, but he’ll remain a secondary option for the Warriors as the market materializes in the next week.

Besides, as far as he’s concerned, trade rumors or no trade rumors, the NBA is a no-excuses league when handled the right way. ‘‘I don’t want to speculate on how each person maybe handles those things,’’ Donovan said. ‘‘Zach [LaVine] and Vooch [Nikola Vucevic], being veteran guys in the league, have gone through that for periods of time. I don’t want to use that as an excuse because I’ve never heard any player come to me saying, ‘Hey, Coach, I’m hearing this or hearing [that].’ I have not heard any of that. We need to play better.’’ -via Chicago Sun-Times / January 28, 2025

The Bulls continue to seek a first-round pick in exchange for former All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, league sources say. The Warriors have been at the front of the line in terms of potential Vučević suitors for weeks but, mired in a 10-20 funk that had them stuck at a lowly No. 11 in the West entering Monday's play, have to date been unwilling to surrender more than second-round draft capital. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 27, 2025
