The Impending Disaster: Nikola Vucevic's Contract Extension with the Bulls

The Chicago Bulls' new contract with center Nikola Vucevic is being criticized as a potential disaster. The 3-year, $60 million deal is seen as an overpayment for an aging player, especially considering the tightening restrictions on luxury tax spending in the new collective bargaining agreement. The article argues that there was little market competition for Vucevic's services, with many potential teams already having filled their center positions. The lack of leverage for the Bulls in negotiations is seen as a factor in the perceived overpayment. Overall, the contract is seen as a questionable move that may hinder the team's ability to improve.
