Nikola Vuu010deviu0107, who is 35, wanted to join a contender, and the Boston Celtics granted that wish when they traded for him before the deadline. He thought that he'd have a chance to win a title with the Bulls when the Magic traded him to Chicago in 2021, but we all know how that went.
The center went from playing for a team that would have to fight for a playoff spot in the play-in tournament to one that is the No. 2 seed in the East.
On Wednesday, Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reported that Boston's trade for Vuu010deviu0107 was "a clear indicator" (subscription required) that the team believes Jayson Tatum will return this season.
