It’s known that the Chicago Bulls want to trade Nikola Vucevic. Among the teams that could’ve shown interest were the Golden State Warriors.
However, according to Hoops Rumors, Jake Fischer on a recent Bleacher Report livestream noted that he doesn't expect the Warriors to have any interest in trading for Vucevic. Hoops Rumors noted that he doesn't believe the Warriors are interested in him, as they're looking to fill the center position in other ways.
“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,” they wrote.
From the Bulls' perspective, if they can move on from Vucevic and get Jonathan Kuminga in a sign-and-trade deal, it'd be the best possible outcome.
Unless they can get a first-round pick or two for the veteran big man’s services, taking a chance on a young player with some potential would be the better option.
Vucevic would fit what the Warriors look to do, as he's an excellent 3-point shooter and has proven to be a double-double machine when he's on the court.

The problem, however, is that he isn’t a great defender, and that's something the Warriors take pride in.
It's telling that no team around the league has been willing to give up much for Vucevic over the past few years.
From the front office's perspective, they don't want to lose him for nothing in a year, so it's something they have to consider.
