Nikola Vucevic of the Chicago Bulls has been a double-double machine this season and has been talked about as a potential trade asset for Chicago.

That’s why it’s not surprising to hear that two of the biggest teams in the league might try to acquire him.

Evan Sidery is reporting that the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are viewed as the strongest trade suitors for Vucevic.

The Lakers and Warriors are both able to match his $20 million salary, but it’s not clear which team will come out on top in this situation.

Vucevic is averaging 20.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, shooting 55.8 percent from the field.

He could be a huge help for the Lakers or Warriors and it’s just a matter of which team is able to put together a better package for the Bulls.

Chicago is the 10th team in the East with an 18-21 record and they might be making a few deals before the upcoming trade deadline.

Vucevic may not be the only Bull who heads to a new location before February 6.

The Lakers and Warriors are reportedly looking at a number of other players, so there is a chance that neither of them sign Vucevic, but he would definitely fill a void that both teams have.

Vucevic has been with the Bulls for five seasons and has averaged 18.4 points and 10.8 rebounds.

There was a time when it felt like he would always be a member of the Bulls, but the front office is ready to make a move and let him go.

But they will only do that for a team that gives them everything they want.

Will that be the Lakers, the Warriors, or a dark horse we aren’t thinking of?
