The Chicago Bulls wanted Jonathan Kuminga from the Warriors in trade talks centered around Alex Caruso, per @KCJHoop

“In exploratory trade talks with the Golden State Warriors centered on Caruso, league sources said the Bulls inquired about Jonathan Kuminga's availability. That was rebuffed, and the Bulls made clear in talks with all teams that they didn't want to trade Caruso, especially for a package on perhaps other young pieces like Moses Moody.”
