Rosters for USA vs World
The rosters have finally been announced after a long wait. Leading USA is Mike Cliff, Zack Knight, Nuka Seyde and Steve Acres.
On the World, we have Alex Goldsmith and Djordje Krsmanovic.
The Chicago Bulls have realized that they are not at all in the running for playoffs ( ), so they have reached out to any teams in regards to Vucevic. The Memphis Grizzlies have answered the call. The Grizzlies, who are currently ---- have agreed to trade for C Nikola Vucevic.
The Grizzlies have also acquired a 2027 2nd and SG Victor Oladipo. It is thought that these two players will help the Grizzlies make it into a guaranteed spot for the final stretch of the season.
The Bulls have received C Brook Lopez, who was recently acquired from Milwaukee, and SG/PG Nuka Seyde. Seyde has been averaging 20.6 PPG as well as 4.1 RPG and 3.4 APG. The Bulls will also receive a 2024 1st round Top 3 Protected Warriors pick.
Many people are wondering what this means for the Bulls, as they have Lavine, Coby White, DeRozan and Lonzo Ball. As for jersey numbers, Caruso willingly gave up #6 to Seyde, and took #9. Lopez, who also dawns #11 as well as DeRozan, will switch to #16.
Vucevic instantly stepped into the starting C and and Oladipo slotted into the starting SG. Both will play alongside Jaren Jackson JR and Ja Morant.
We hope that Vucevic and Oladipo can help us get into a guaranteed playoff spot. We would like to thank Brook Lopez and Nuka Seyde for their time with us here in Memphis. - Memphis GM
We have officially entered the rebuild mode. There may be more trades incoming. We would like to welcome Nuka to the team and are excited to have him part of the organization. - Bulls GM
