2024-2025 Bulls Season IGT

To commemorate the end of Zach's tenure as a Bull, here's the stats up through the trade as we go into what hopefully is full rebuild mode.

Zach leaves as by far the Bulls best scorer, 3pt shooter, and the only regular starter with a positive plus minus, though only just so (but the rest of the Bulls starters are in the pits of plus minus so).

Vuc's shooting has fallen just enough to where he's averaging "only" 40% from 3 now, but that should be more than enough value to trade him somewhere.

Bulls do a very Bulls thing by winning their next game after supposedly committing to the rebuild (and thus implicitly the tank) on a night where a loss would've moved them into better draft position.

Meanwhile the current rumor mill states the market is dry for Vuc now that the Warriors seem intent on asking for literally every all star's availability (maybe since the Mavs were dumb enough to trade Luka they think there's a chance) and that the Bulls intend to keep Lonzo and re-sign him in the offseason. Supposedly at best the Bulls could only really hope to get a couple 2nds for Vuc. Vuc is prepared to remain a Bull for the rest of the year, so he says...this is a couple days after he also said he was thinking he got traded.

While most of the time the rumor to keep Lonzo would be a tactic to try to get better trade offers from others, since it's the Bulls I am just going to assume they're serious. Supposedly teams are offering some form of draft capital for Lonzo even right now. It would be a very AK thing to do to deny draft capital.

Also shout out to Matas for the career high 24 points on 10/10 shooting
