Phoenix, Golden State, and now one of the two biggest NBA clubs - the American media is once again connecting Nikola Vucevic with a trade in the strongest basketball league in the world.
As reported by Evan Sideri from Forbes (formerly ESPN), the Los Angeles Lakers have expressed interest in bringing our center.
"The Lakers recently informed Chicago about Vucevic. The club from California wants to strengthen at the center position, and Robert Williams and Jonas Valančunas are also involved in the story," Sideri wrote on the X social network.
American media write that it would be very interesting to see a Montenegrin among the Lakers.
"Playing next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis would open up a lot of opportunities for Vucevic," pointed out "Sports Illustrated".
After 36 games this season, the Lakers have a record of 20-16, while Chicago, as in previous years, is a mediocre team with 17 wins and 19 losses.
"That's why the departure of Vučević to Lejkerske with the right offer would make sense," adds the mentioned media.
Our ace is playing his 14th season in the NBA - and one of the best in his career. He is currently averaging 20,5 points, 10,2 rebounds and 3,3 assists - his shooting average is 55,2 percent from the field, and 42,2 percent from three.
The guy from Bar has been a double-double machine for a long time, so he surpassed even the greatest Michael Jordan in the eternal list of Chicago Bulls in that segment.
Vučević has recorded 181 double-doubles in the Bulls jersey so far, so he overtook Jordan in fifth place, who remained at 180.
It seems that the Montenegrin has given a lot to the big club from "United Center" and that the moment is ideal for the jersey of the new giant...
