Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Nikola Vucevic
Chicago Bulls Receive: G/F Joe Harris, G Seth Curry

This is, arguably, more of a Nikola Vucevic trade. He’s certainly the most recognizable name among this group of players. Is he the most productive?
In 2021-22, the answer was likely no. Vucevic has long enjoyed a reputation as a floor-spacing big. In 2021-22, he did not live up to it.
