LeBron James might find himself in the Chicago Bulls roster, if the rumors turn out to be true.

After helping the Cleveland Cavaliers win the 2015-2016 NBA championship, LeBron James might find himself playing for another team if he wants to chase the ghost that keeps him motivated to improve his game.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, James admitted that the records set by the legendary Michael Jordan inspire him to work harder on the court.

"What I've gone through is totally different than what he went through. What he did was unbelievable, and I watched it unfold. I looked up to him so much. I think it's cool to put myself in position to be one of those great players, but if I can ever put myself in position to be the greatest player, that would be something extraordinary," the 2016 NBA Finals MVP stated.

Since Jordan played for the Bulls when he earned his six championship rings, NBA sports analyst Sam Smith believes that it could be possible to see James trade his Cavs jersey for the Bulls especially since his close friend Dwayne Wade already signed up to play for the Windy City.

"LeBron gets Cleveland its title; he's now free to leave and rejoin his buddy Wade in Chicago where they could have gone in 2010 and now the Bulls have a young core and Butler to support them as they play out their careers in the biggest city they've played in," the sports analyst said in his article on the NBA website. "Wade and LeBron together again in a major media market. Hey, you can't say no to anything in this NBA."

However, James and the Bulls have yet to announce if any deal has been made between the two parties at the moment.

Meanwhile, the Bulls camp also needs to address the speculations about the possible trading of power forward Taj Gibson to another team.

The 31-year-old power forward is already in his final year with the Bulls, where he averages 8.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. At the moment, three teams are reportedly being considered by the Bulls to trade Gibson with. These teams include the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors.
