The trade works for the Pelicans, who have taken a rather hesitant approach to a rebuild. Although they still feature some immensely talented players on their roster, a superstar in Zion Williamson in particular, injury issues riddled the team last season.

Sending Vucevic to the Pelicans gives the team a reliable big man and veteran who can pair well next to Williamson by his ability to shoot the long ball.

Meanwhile, the trade does wonders for the Bulls as it brings in some more draft capital that matches the team's timeline. Additionally, the team also acquires two solid big men in Kelly Olynyk and Yves Missi. Olynyk has proven himself to be a savvy veteran. His experiences in the postseason, as well as his playing style, would blend well with a young team like Chicago is poised to be in this scenario.

Meanwhile, Missi has shown a lot of upside this season. After averaging 9.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season, the 21-year-old certainly showcases a lot of growth potential.
