The Chicago Bulls are on a roll right now. They just won three consecutive games. They won against the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards and Portland Trailblazers. And at 7-4, they are at fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
The tandem of Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Bulter seems to be working well for the Bulls. Wade is averaging 17.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists while Bulter's average is 24.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
But despite the fact that the Bulls are having a spectacular season so far, rumors say that the Chicago Bulls is interested at Andrew Wiggins. According to Mobile & Apps, the Bulls want to acquire Andrew Wiggins. And in exchange, they are willing to give away Jimmy Butler. Zach LaVine is also said to be sent to the Bulls.
Andrew Wiggins is having a breakthrough season for the Minnesota Timberwolves this year. The 2015 NBA Rookie of the Year averages 26.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Zack LaVine is also having an outstanding season averaging 19.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
But the young core of Wiggins, LaVine and Towns are still in the developing. As good as them on the basketball court, they still can't carry the Wolves to playoff contenders. At 3-7 record, the Wolves are 11th place in the West.
If they get Jimmy Butler, the Wolves will speed up the process of their development. And they might even contend for playoffs this year. Aside from that, Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns tandem might actually work. Butler could mentor the 2016 NBA Rookie of the Year on come to become a much better player.
On the other hand, getting Wiggins and LaVine will give the Bulls a big offensive boost in their offense. And having great offensive players like Wiggins and LaVine will give the Bulls a better chance against the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Toronto Raptors in the playoffs.
But according to Morning Ledger, there is no reason for the Bulls to trade their star player Jimmy Butler this season.
Could this trade push through? Stay tuned for more NBA trade rumors and updates.
