After losing two consecutive games, the Golden State Warriors desperately required collective effort for a win. In a timely fashion, the Warriors displayed an all-around solid performance over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Stephen Curry led the Warriors in a balanced attack in their 131-106 victory over the Bulls.

In the proposal, the Warriors send Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, Kevon Looney and their 2026 first-round pick to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Zach LaVine. While Golden State's depth would take a hit, the team would get a capable star who is having one of the best seasons of his career.

Zach LaVine joined Michael Jordan and four other players in scoring 10,000 points throughout the history of the Chicago Bulls.

Gui Santos added 19 points with five 3-pointers and Andrew Wiggins had 17 points as the Warriors completed a back-to-back after squandering an 18-point lead in a 123-117 loss at Sacramento on Wednesday night.

Any trades the Warriors make at the deadline are going to be around the margins, likely leaving an inconsistent Warriors team fighting for one of the bottom few playoff spots in the West. That said, the organization wants to win again with Stephen Curry and will be looking to take some home run swings this summer.

There is a responsibility on keeping the franchise in a good space and good spot when it comes to where we leave this thing when we’re done,” Curry told reporters after the Warriors lost to the Raptors on Monday.

Vucevic has been one of the better pick-and-pop centers in the league, hitting 40.5 percent of his catch-and-shoot 3s this season. His resurgence in that area has also been one of the drivers of Zach LaVine's comeback, giving the Bulls guard a ton of space to work with. He would do the same for Curry.
