Bulls get bad Warriors news on potential Jonathan Kuminga trade due to one player image

The Chicago Bulls have been one of the many teams linked to Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors. The youngster still hasn't finalized a deal with the Warriors, and it remains uncertain how things will unfold over the next few weeks to months. 

Kuminga is searching for a deal that the Warriors don't want to give him, but if they could sign and trade him, there's reason to believe the Bulls would be a decent landing spot. 

However, for that to happen, the Warriors would need the Bulls to give them something they want. 

That player would be none other than Nikola Vucevic.

Despite that potential thinking, according to Hoops Rumors, Jake Fischer on a Bleacher Report live stream recently reported that he doesn't believe the Warriors have any interest in the veteran Bulls center. 

“Fischer doesn’t believe the Warriors have enough interest in Bulls center Nikola Vucevic to make him the main piece in a potential Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade. Vucevic has an expiring contract, and Golden State is expected to fill its need for a stretch five by signing Al Horford. Chicago is among several teams that have expressed interest in Kuminga, but Fischer says the most likely scenario has him remaining with the Warriors on “a short-term agreement,” they wrote.

If the Warriors don't have any interest in Vucevic, this would eliminate them from the running for Kuminga, unless they were looking to add another player to their roster.

The Bulls don't exactly have a ton to give up unless they want to move on from Coby White, which would be a questionable trade.
