The Chicago Bulls have reportedly expressed little to no interest in acquiring forward Zeke Nnaji during trade discussions with the Denver Nuggets. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Bulls are prioritizing other targets and are not considering Nnaji as part of their future plans.
“Chicago has made it clear in conversations with Denver that Zeke Nnaji is not on their radar,” Stein reported in his latest newsletter. “The Bulls are looking for assets that better align with their long-term goals, and Nnaji doesn’t appear to fit that vision.”
Nnaji, a 6’9″ forward known for his defensive versatility and rebounding, has shown promise with the Nuggets but has struggled to carve out a consistent role on a deep roster. While his upside appeals to many teams around the league, the Bulls seem focused on acquiring players with a more immediate impact or higher offensive ceiling.
This development could impact the broader trade landscape as the Nuggets look to bolster their championship-contending roster. It remains unclear whether Denver will adjust their trade proposals or seek other partners willing to take on Nnaji.
For the Bulls, this stance underscores their commitment to reshaping the team around players who complement their existing core and align with their long-term strategy. As trade talks heat up ahead of the deadline, both teams are expected to explore additional options.
Stay tuned for more updates as the trade market continues to evolve.
