According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, the Chicago Bulls have legit interest in trading for the young forward. It’s expected to be worked through as a sign-and-trade type deal.

This type of deal makes sense when considering the fact that Chicago is well over the salary cap and have tighter restrictions on spending this upcoming offseason.

It’s unclear what type of assets the Bulls would be willing to give up for the talented player, but that should be cleared up if/when they move forward with the potential trade.

There is a large belief right now that the 22-year-old re-signs with the Golden State Warriors. Kuminga’s market has been reportedly “dry” and not many teams are in a solid financial situation to give him the money he’s looking for.

The only team who has that type of money, without killing them like the rest of the league, are the Brooklyn Nets. However, they really aren’t interested in Kuminga.

Once the Kevin Durant trade situation gets resolved, then many teams may look to the Warriors young prospect as a potential backup plan to secure young, developing talent for their futures.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by Marc Stein, Josh Giddey is commanding a five-year, $120 million extension from the Chicago Bulls. This would see him roughly make $24 million a season.

Last June, Chicago acquired Giddey from the Oklahoma City Thunder, which saw Alex Caruso shipped to OKC – who are now in the NBA Finals.

During the season, the Bulls never offered the 22-year-old a new contract, but that could change due to the way he was playing in those 70 appearances. Many members of the media and fans have said Chicago won that trade.

Giddey averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists. It is unclear where his market stands currently, but he is setting the table of making at least $120 million over multiple years from any team who will offer him that type of contract.

Despite the Chicago Bulls putting him on the trade block and trading away both Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic remains committed to the Chicago Bulls. The veteran big man wants to finish out his contract.

After this season, the 34-year-old has one year remaining on his three-year, $60 million deal. In 2025-26, fans would see him getting paid $21.4 million. Once his contract is up, Vucevic will be an unrestricted free agent.

Per the man himself, he isn’t thinking about money or what’s happening with his future, as he just wants to play with the guys currently on the team and win games.

“Who knows what happens in the summer, but right now I’m focused on this group of guys,” Vucevic said. “I’ve really enjoyed playing with them. Guys with good character, guys that really want to win, they care. We play for each other, we compete, and that’s what you want.”

Vucevic has a strong mindset and outlook when it comes to front offices making the moves they make and how to respond as players.

“It’s just the way it is in this league. You can’t dwell over what happens. Teams make decisions, front offices, and that’s their decision. We as players, we focus on what we can do to become the best versions of ourselves,” Vucevic said.

The talented stretch-big is averaging 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game. Vucevic has appeared in 64 games this season.

When the deadline was here, multiple teams, such as the Golden State Warriors, had reported interest in Chicago’s big man. However, no deal physically materialized and he remains with the Bulls.
