The Chicago Bulls are no strangers to trading rumors. Whether it’s Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic or Lonzo Ball, most key members of the roster have heard their names in rumors for over a season.

It’s gotten to a point where Chicago Bulls star Nikola Vucevic isn’t letting the rumors affect his mindset anymore. It’s something Vucevic knows is part of the game when a team doesn’t live up to his expectations.

During an interview with Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Vucevic spoke about the trade rumors surrounding his name.

“In recent years, we haven’t played well, we haven’t achieved our goals as a team, so change was inevitable,” Vucevic said. “I see and hear the rumours. People in my life talk to me about it, but I don’t get too involved in it. I suppose if something happened or it got worse, he’d come to me, talk to me, but at the moment I’m not thinking about that.”

As things stand, the Chicago Bulls are in a period of limbo. Just like other seasons, the team is caught between competing and tanking. At this point, it’s too early to tell which way the team will go, as their record is 2-2. One thing is for sure, however, when things go south, there will be plenty of trade rumors again.
