Welcome to Locked On Bulls, your daily podcast covering all things Chicago Bulls. In today's episode, we'll be discussing the potential departure of Nikola Vucevic in free agency and what the team's Plan B could be if he chooses to leave. Vucevic was a big acquisition for the Bulls at the trade deadline in 2021, bringing in a skilled big man to pair with Zach LaVine and help push the team towards a playoff spot. However, with Vucevic's contract set to expire in the summer of 2023, there is a real possibility that he could choose to leave in free agency. So what would the Bulls do if Vucevic decides to move on? We'll explore some potential options for the team, including potential free agent signings and trades that could help shore up the frontcourt and keep the team competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Welcome to Locked On Bulls, your daily podcast covering all things Chicago Bulls. In today's episode, we'll be grading Zach LaVine's 2023 season. LaVine has been one of the brightest stars in the NBA since he was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2014. After a few years of struggling with injuries and inconsistent play, he found his stride with the Bulls in 2019. Since then, he has become one of the league's most dynamic and exciting scorers, earning two All-Star nods in the process. So how did LaVine fare in the 2023 season? Did he continue his upward trajectory, or did he plateau or regress? In this episode, we'll take a deep dive into his statistics, his performance in key games, and his impact on the team as a whole. We'll also compare LaVine's performance to other top players in the league and discuss what his future with the Bulls might look like. Is he the cornerstone of the team's rebuilding efforts, or will the front office consider trading him for a package of draft picks and young talent? Tune in to Locked On Bulls to find out!
