The latest NBA trade rumors hinted that the Chicago Bulls might enter a deal with the Brooklyn Nets as they are reportedly planning to bring in the Nets' center Brook Lopez in order to further improve their roster.

Sports Rageous reported that Lopez is expected to fill the void created by power forward Pau Gasol's departure to the San Antonio Spurs in the offseason. It is reported that the Nets' center will help the Chicago Bulls team to improve their frontcourt and thus provide a tough competition to other teams in the NBA league.

Reports claimed that the Bulls will team up Lopez with other big men on their roster like shooting guard Jimmy Butler, power forward Taj Gibson and point guard Rajon Rondo to enhance their offensive and defensive gameplay in the upcoming season.

Furthermore, it is expected that in order to seal the deal, the Bulls might trade their 14th overall NBA draft pick, Denzel Valentine, power forward Nikola Mirotic and Bobby Portis to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for their center Lopez.

On the other hand, iSports Web reported that the Brooklyn Nets are rumored to be keen on trading Lopez before the start of the new NBA season in order to help him build his career with a winning team. It is stated that the sending Lopez to Bulls will help him to improve his gameplay and become one of the most dominating players.

Even, if the Chicago Bulls is reportedly touted to be the perfect team for Lopez, few reports claimed that even the Portland Trail Blazers will provide him a suitable environment to improve his on-court offensive and defensive skills.

Should, the deal between the Nets and the Blazers become a reality, it is rumored that Lopez will be paired with point guard Damian Lillard and shooting guard C.J. McCollum, in order to provide a major boost to the team's backcourt.

However, none of the teams have officially stated anything about the possible trade scenario. Stay tuned in here for more NBA trade rumors and updates on the Chicago Bulls.
