The saga of Nikola Vučević and his departure from Chicago got another episode - according to the American media, the Montenegrin basketball player is now interesting to Phoenix.
During the last months, our ace has already been connected with many NBA clubs, supposedly even the Bulls wouldn't have anything against trading him, and then these days the Suns also joined the story.
As reported by Duan Renkin, a journalist familiar with the happenings around Phoenix, and reported by "Sports Illustrated", the Suns are actively looking for a replacement for starting center Jusuf Nurkic.
Apparently, the most interesting to the club from Arizona are Jonas Valančunas from Washington and Vucevic from Chicago.
"The Suns want a big trade, and the Lithuanian and the Montenegrin are basketball players whose names are included in trade negotiations," wrote Renkin.
Phoenix is led by three NBA stars Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, but on the floor things are not going exactly as they planned in Arizona.
"Sports Illustrated" therefore states that they are thinking about bringing in a center and that Vucevic would be a real upgrade for the team, but also that it is important how the Bulls approach the trade.
First of all, because our basketball player has excellent numbers this season - he averages 20,7 points, has 9,8 rebounds and 3,2 assists, his shooting from the field is 57,8 percent, and 45,2 for three-pointers.
