The Bulls and Kings each have roughly $20 million lat their disposal for Parker, who is believed to be seeking a contract in that range.
Some NBA observers speculate Chicago would be the ideal spot for Parker, who was born and raised there and become a local legend after a phenomenal prep career which included four straight state championships.
More importantly, Parker could give the Bulls a big-time scoring threat and give the Bulls arguably the best young frontcourt in the game, joining Wendell Carter and Lauri Markkanen, the Bulls’ lottery selections the last two years, respectively.
An NBA executive claims the Bulls “most definitely’’ are interesting in acquiring the 6-foot-8 Parker.
As for Sacramento, the Kings are trying desperately to upgrade their starting lineup and acquire a top-flight scorer. The Kings recently made Chicago restricted free-agent shooting guard Zach LaVine a lucrative offer that the Bulls subsequently matched.
A Kings official, who requested anonymity, said the team was interested in Parker, adding “He’s a viable option.’’
