Nikola Vucevic was on top of his social media game over the summer, especially when it came to the rumors that the Bulls were looking to package him in a trade for Utah’s Rudy Gobert.

Once Gobert was sent to Minnesota in July, however, the Bulls big man tweeted, “Glad my offer for the house I found in Salt Lake got rejected then.”
