Boston Celtics Receive: C Nikola Vucevic
Chicago Bulls Receive: C Al Horford, G Aaron Nesmith, 2026 First-Round Pick, 2023 Second-Round Pick (via POR)

The Chicago Bulls gave up a lot initially to bring over Nikola Vucevic, who continues to be one of the most underrated big men in the NBA.

Vucevic can do it all offensively and would bring a new dynamic to Boston. He would be the lone player going to the Boston Celtics to solidify the rotation on both ends of the floor.

Al Horford has played an important role in the Celtics’ defense, but if the team feels adding another scoring threat is the way to go, Vucevic could be of intrigue.

The Celtics do have the option of deploying small-ball lineups with Robert Williams III at the five more frequently if they want to switch everything on defense after acquiring Vucevic.
