It further goes on to read: "LaVine is viewed by some within the organization as the safer option. At 29, he’s five and a half years younger and some $6 million cheaper than Butler this season, though his contract extends longer and he’s had some recent health concerns. There are risks all over the board."

After a shocking win against the LA Clippers on Monday, the Chicago Bulls have a chance to go on a winning streak against the reeling Warriors on Thursday night

For the past two seasons, the Golden State Warriors have been searching for a co-star next to Stephen Curry. With many of their top targets off the market, Golden State might pivot to Nikola Vučević. The Warriors have been linked to the Chicago Bulls big man throughout this season.

The Warriors superstar and head coach are aligned in their doubts about the combustible Butler's fit in Golden State's locker room.

According to Evan Sidery, the Bulls and Warriors have remained engaged in trade talks centered on Nikola Vucevic for weeks. Chicago desires a 1st-round pick for him, but Golden State is only willing to include 2nd-round draft capital. They would send out expiring contracts to match salaries.

The Chicago Bulls head to Chase Center to face the Golden State Warriors in a non-conference matchup. The Bulls are 19-25, which puts them in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors are 21-22, which puts them in 11th place in the Western Conference.

SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry had 21 points and seven assists, Quinten Post scored a career-high 20 points and the Golden State Warriors routed the Chicago Bulls 131-106 on Thursday night.

The Golden State Warriors are now 10-20 over the course of their last 30 contests and hold a 22-23 record overall following their latest defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 118-108 on Saturday night.

The Golden State Warriors have been linked with a trade all season. The front office has reportedly been searching for ways to upgrade the roster and give Stephen Curry some additional help. However, Mike Dunleavy Jr. has made it clear that Golden State won't mortgage its future in the pursuit of short-term success.

The Warriors fell behind 20-6 as a late-arriving crowd filtered into Chase Center. The Bulls hit six of their first seven 3-pointers and Vucevic dropped seven quick points. But Golden State’s bench ripped off a 9-0 run as the defense picked up.
