With that, many teams are rumored to be interest. Could one of those teams be the Chicago Bulls?
The Bulls could use some help in the backcourt with Derrick Rose being out for a while as he recovers from a torn ACL. For the Kings, the main thing they'll be looking for is someone to team up with DeMarcus Cousins in the backcourt.
Bradford Doolittle of Basketball Prospectus came up with the perfect solution to solve both team's problems:
"The Kings are rumored to want another big man to pair with DeMarcus Cousins, and the unselfish, defense-oriented style of Noah would be a perfect on-court fit. The trade works financially because of the amount of cap space the Kings have, so there are no concerns there. ... The swap of picks is important from the Bulls' standpoint, as they would want to add another center to replace Noah, and Connecticut's Andre Drummond would fit in nicely ... When healthy, Noah is an All-Star type of player, while Evans has regressed during his NBA career, so the Bulls could hold out for the pick swap. The money the Bulls save from dealing Noah would help them keep Asik, a restricted free agent this summer, as well as Taj Gibson, who can become one next year."
It looks like a solid deal for both ends.
The Bulls will be heading into tax issues, so dealing Noah can help that. Along with that, they'll have a crazy backcourt with Evans, Richard Hamilton, and then D-Rose when he returns. Along with that, they have the fifth pick to work with, where they can easily draft a guy like Andre Drummond and Thomas Robinson to fill in the loss of Noah.
As for Sacramento, they have a guy to finally pair with Cousins. Noah is more safer than a draft pick such as Drummond or Robinson, knowing what he can produce for a team. Sactown also gets rid of Evans, who doesn't seem like a fit now with Isaiah Thomas and Jimmer Fredette occupying the two guard spots.
However, can it really happen? I don't know if it can. The more likely trade would be for the Bulls to trade Carlos Boozer instead. With that, Cousins will still have to be a center while Boozer plays PF with the Kings.
We'll see if the Kings can work out a trade to help find a better fit for Evans this off-season as we come closer to the draft.
