Bulls, Knicks both interested in ex-Kansas star Josh Jackson

— -- The Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks, who are fielding trade offers for their high-profile players, both have shown interest in draft prospect? Josh Jackson, sources tell ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

The Bulls have the 16th overall pick and the Knicks are slotted at No. 8, so either team likely would have to trade to a higher spot in the first round in order to select Jackson, who widely is projected as a top-five pick.

The 6-foot-10 Jackson worked out last week for the Lakers, who have the No. 2 pick in Thursday's draft. The Celtics, who have the third pick, hoped to have Jackson in for a workout Tuesday, but multiple sources told ESPN's Dave McMenamin that the former Kansas star did not work out for Boston.

ESPN reported Monday night that the Bulls have been engaged in trade talks with the Cavaliers, who covet All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the Suns, who have the No. 4 pick, could be a potential third team in a Bulls-Cavs trade involving Butler. The Celtics also are regarded as a potential trade suitor for Butler.

The Knicks, meanwhile, have fielded multiple calls in recent days from teams interested in star forward Kristaps Porzingis, ESPN confirmed Tuesday. The New York Daily News reported later Tuesday that the Celtics are one of the teams that reached out to the Knicks.
