The Golden State Warriors have an important decision to make during the offseason with Jonathan Kuminga. Some have suggested that the team could sign and trade him. If that happens, a few teams around the NBA will likely be interested in landing him.
Searching for landing spots for the youngster, Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report listed the Chicago Bulls as a potential team. Bailey added that the Warriors need a center, and the Bulls have one in the form of Nikola Vucevic.
“The Warriors need a center, and the Chicago Bulls have a win-now big man in Nikola Vučević whose shooting and passing would make him an easy fit on offense.
“His defense is certainly tougher to sell, but a team with Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler can hide a lot of Vuč's flaws on that end. And depending on how big Kuminga's salary would be in a sign-and-trade, the Bulls are a trading partner that might be able to provide Golden State with two rotation players,” he wrote.
Getting rid of Kuminga for an aging Vucevic would be a questionable decision from the Warriors' perspective.

But they haven't shown much trust in Kuminga throughout his young career. He was benched for much of the playoffs before needing to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round, a decision that looked to be the wrong one, as he proved doubters wrong and played well.
However, the Warriors could be interested in adding Vucevic. He's coming off a season in which we averaged 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and shot over 40% from 3-point range on 4.4 attempts per game.
