Nikola Vucevic and the Reasons Why He May Be Close to Signing with the Warriors

A very negative dynamic in which the Golden State Warriors find themselves, as they have been witnessing for weeks how the promising start of the season has been grotesquely clouded by consecutive, and some very forceful, defeats. There continues to be an evident fragility in the interior game, leading to numerous NBA rumors suggesting the possibility of signing Nikola Vucevic.

They have lost 8 of the last 10 games, conveying feelings of maximum fragility, with the interior game remaining a significant burden. Golden State Warriors have always raised some doubts with their centers, but the power vacuum currently present in the paint is infinite. Looney is far from his best form, and the disadvantage in rebounding and intimidation significantly hampers the team's chances. Therefore, management is desperately seeking solutions, with rumors pointing to Nikola Vucevic as the chosen one.

The Warriors have recently checked in with the Bulls on Nikola Vucevic.

Vucevic is averaging 21.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 47.5% on threes.

Although Vucevic may not be the hardest working or most intimidating center under the NBA boards, the fact remains that he is on the market after being made transferable. His rebounding ability would greatly benefit the team, providing an interior threat that allows perimeter shooters more freedom of movement. What makes the trade more feasible is that Golden State Warriors have the necessary financial and draft capital to carry out the operation.
