I would not be interested in Vuc either. I think he is a good player and could help a team. He probably isn't going to cost much either. I just don't think we have the assets that would make a deal work. I wouldn't give up our young players or a first round pick.
I think for the Mavs they need to have a firm grasp on Holmes and Maxi. So far it doesn't appear Holmes is on their plans. We need to see if Maxi can stay healthy and be productive.
I think we know what we have in Powell. Ideally he is a 2/3 center. Maybe right out of the rotation for a championship contender but also a guy who can give a good 20ish minutes in the regular season. Lively is the future but you have to expect some rough timelines for him this year. How do they survive when this happens? It is a big concern for me.
edit- speaking of the Bulls, I would be really interested to see how teams view Patrick Williams. I have seen some games where I thought he was going to be really good. Others where he is invisible or really bad. He didn't sign a contract and was supposedly wanting something near 20 million. He has a lot of the measurables that every team wants. He is still only 22 years old too.
