In life, you shouldn’t take anything for granted. That holds true for NBA players as well.
That may be morbid – it’s also true. Anything you cherish can be lost. You shouldn’t dwell on these harsh realities – just cherish what you have while you can.
The abilities they have will inevitably decline – and their trade value will decline with it.
Take Nikola Vucevic. At one time, he had the trade value of a star.
Now, he’s aging and a defensive liability. Vucevic remains a potent offensive player, but he’s not going to command a star’s return in 2022.
Should the Bulls move him anyway?
