Chicago Bulls Trade Rumors 2016: Jimmy Butler part of five player trade with Kings; DeMarcus Cousins headed to Chicago?

Rumors are rife that the Bulls may let go of Jimmy Butler, whom the Oklahoma Thunder is eyeing in order to rebuild its team after suffering one of the biggest losses during the trade season when superstar Kevin Durant chose to sign with the Golden State Warriors.

While Butler has the experience and the skills that could help fill the gap left by Durant in the team, there are also speculations that his playing style will not mesh with that of the Thunder because of his tendency to always want the ball.

In another report involving the trade of Butler, it is believed that Butler will still change zip codes before the deadline is over but he will not be going to a straight trade with the Thunder. Rather, he will be part of a blockbuster five player deal involving the Bulls and the Kings.

According to the report, it is more likely for the Bulls to let go of Butler, Robin Lopez and Doug McDermott in exchange for DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay.

The Bulls is reportedly on the right track in rebuilding its championship form when it made the major decision to let go of Rose, and sign Rajon Rondo and Dwayne Wade to reinforce their back court.

Another report indicated that the Bulls has been working on getting Cousins to Chicago for a while now since it is only one superstar shy from building a team that has the potential to wrest the championship away from the Cavs.

Besides, the issues that Cousins has been having with management is among the indicators that he is also about ready to part ways with the team.
