I feel like the general belief is that this will be the last season of Vooch in a Bulls uniform. But will it be? Would it be that surprising to see him sign another deal this summer to stay with the team?
It's clear Vooch still has enough gas left in the tank to be a backup center (or even just veteran mentor) for at least two or three more years. My guess is Vooch's dreams of playing meaningful basketball are basically all but over. What if he tests the market and basically only gets offers for the vet minimum and then the Bulls swoop in and offer him a three year deal in the $20-25 million range? It would be hard for him to turn down one final payday like that.
This doesn't seem all that unlikely to me. We know AK's going to have a huge amount of money burning a hole in his pocket this upcoming summer. We know he thinks he's going to use that on a big free agent splash. We also know that's highly unlikely, so he's going to have to pivot. My guess is he ends up paying Coby like $35 million a year just because Coby is a known quantity to him and he's got the money to do it. He'll still have some money left over, so why not bring back another known quantity in Vooch?

Vuc is the new Heinrich. A less than mediocre white guy who management loves for some reason. And refuses to replace with a better player
