Billy Donovan should win this challenge. Anthony Edwards tried to posterize Nikola Vucevic but hit Vucevic in the face before trying to detonate with a dunk – 9:26 PM

AK has some rough trade waters to navigate the next few months … but what if he can’t move Zach LaVine, the Vooch or Lonzo Ball? Do Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu come into play for draft assets?

Kidd compared Chicago to Indiana, except faster. Will play 5-out with Vuc like Indiana did with Turner.
We know how that went. – 6:52 PM

More on this storyline
According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report (video link), he recently asked an NBA general manager what sort of price he’d pay to acquire Vucevic. The GM responded that he’d give up “a couple of” second-round picks. Fischer adds that trading Vucevic during the season is probably more realistic for the Bulls than finding a viable in-season deal for LaVine. -via Hoops Rumors / November 9, 2024
Coach Billy Donovan worked to reshape this role last season, giving Vučević more responsibility at the nail and funneling his 3-point opportunities through pick-and-pop scenarios. But it wasn’t until this year — when the Bulls adopted a high-paced offense that moved away from the midrange-heavy style impacted by DeMar DeRozan’s tenure with the team — that Vučević felt he found his groove again. “Our emphasis this year is really to get to the paint and create out of that,” Vučević said. “We talked about it after September and throughout camp. We work on it every day and little by little, the more we work on it, the more it’s going to become a habit.” -via Chicago Tribune / November 6, 2024
NBA Communications: Other nominees... West: DeMar DeRozan (SAC), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC), Kyrie Irving (DAL) and Nikola Jokić (DEN) East: Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns (NYK), Jayson Tatum (BOS) and Nikola Vučević (CHI) -via Twitter / November 4, 2024

KC Johnson: Bulls downgrade Zach LaVine to doubtful vs. Timberwolves with adductor strain. LaVine and Donovan expressed optimism last night in Dallas that LaVine may return by week’s end. Bulls in Atlanta Saturday. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / November 7, 2024
