The Chicago Bulls may be a on the second spot of the Eastern Conference and on a winning streak, but this performance seems to not stop the Bulls from acquiring additional talents for their team. According to some rumors circulating, the Bulls are now in talk with the Sacramento Kings for a possible trade deal in order to acquire DeMarcus Cousins. However, this might not be an easy deal, for aside from the Bulls it was also speculated that Miami Heat, LA Lakers, and Boston Celtics are also interested with Cousins.
Many teams in the Eastern Conference would like to have Cousins in their line-up, especially for a team attempting a play-off run and a possible appearance in the finals. Though the Sacramento Kings has not been that stable and consistent over the past seasons, other teams had set interest over their big man for its contribution to the team. This season alone, though Cousins "field goal percentage has dipped to just 42.1 percent," said inquisitr, other teams are still interested in him because "he is averaging 25.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game," added inquisitr.
In line with the Bulls wanting to add Cousins in their roster, things would be hard for them to proceed. Though they have other big men with them like Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis as an exchange, it would likely that Kings would say pass on them. According to cbssports;
"Sacramento Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins has drawn significant trade interest from the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, league sources tell SheridanHoops. Sacramento is listening, but the Kings are in a holding pattern and currently have no plans to make a deal despite sitting in 13th place in the 15-team Western Conference, the sources said."
However, if the Bulls are interested with Cousins, they might have a shot with it if they are willing to trade another interesting player. According to inquisitr Taj Gibson, Pau Gasol, Bobby Portis "might be a stretch to state that the Kings would consider those good pieces to acquire. A reality is that the Kings might ask for Jimmy Butler, who the Bulls are unlikely to part with in any deal." But of course this will not happen, for the Bulls will not let go of their precious asset, thus it would be best for them to acquire players from other struggling teams.
