Reports claim that the Chicago Bulls are not interested to bite. Joe Cowley stated that the Bulls had “zero interest” in the trade.

The Lakers fans are in disbelief and some of them reacted online. “We shouldn’t want either of them“, one wrote.

Deconstructing the Russell Westbrook trade

Shaking off from a rocky start as “Westbrick”, Russell Westbrook has shown tenacity with his performances off the bench. He has become a candidate to win the Sixth Man of the Year.

DeMar DeRozan has been averaging 25.6 points with 4.7 rebounds. He is widely considered to be one of the best scorers in the league. In his first year with the Bulls, he was an All-NBA select. Vucevic, on the other hand, has been averaging 16.3 points with 10.8 rebounds.

The Bulls fans have heavily depended on the Big Three: Zach Lavine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic. Unfortunately, the Bulls have not fared well this season and multiple sources have recommended that it is time to blow up the roster. However, with this update, it looks like they are unlikely to follow it up.
