The Chicago Bulls are likely to explore trading veteran center Nikola Vucevic this offseason as he enters the final year of his three-year extension, which is valued at $21.5 million for 2025-26. The Bulls nearly traded Vucevic to the Golden State Warriors at the trade deadline but could not finalize the deal; his expiring contract may make him easier to trade this offseason or before the 2026 deadline. If Vucevic is traded, veteran backup Zach Collins is expected to become the starting center, while the Bulls may also consider drafting a center in the 2025 NBA Draft.
