$20M AAV is very fair Vucevic. He's a walking double-double and shoots a good percentage. I know Bulls fans won't love that contract, because they wanted to reset to some extent, but it's a good deal.

+7.8 defensive on/off. By far the worst on the Bulls

Which could eliminate them as a suitor for Kyrie.

Quote:-Reggie Bullock - DAL - fully guaranteed at $10.5M
-Eric Gordon - LAC - fully guaranteed at $20.9M
-Kelly Olynyk - UTA - fully guaranteed at $12.2M
-Chris Paul - WAS - fully guaranteed at $30.8M
-Taurean Prince - MIN - fully guaranteed at $7.5M

They can sign Kyrie and one more big time free agent like Kuzma or Dillon Brooks.

Add them to Jalen Green, Jabari Smith, Sengun, Porter Jr., Amen Thompson, Whitmore, Eason.

Thats a scary athletic team. Especially with Udoka as coach. Personal issues aside, he's respected in his locker room.
