According to the Washington Post the Chicago Bulls have approached the Wizards about swapping the third overall pick and a "lesser-salaried player" for the fifth overall pick and Jarvis Hayes, last year's 10th overall pick.

According to the Post the deal is unlikely to transpire as the Wizards do not plan on moving Hayes, yet an employee with the Bulls has been doing background checks on Hayes, according to a source of the Post based in Washington.

Wizards President of Basketball Operations Ernie Grunfeld said, "I don't comment on conjecture and rumor."
