The Bulls and Nets are reportedly getting closer to a trade that would send Larry Hughes to New Jersey while Bobby Simmons would head to Chicago.

A league source confirmed a report in the Bergen Record that the teams have had serious discussions. If the Nets sign on, the deal will get done.

Chicago might also get guard Maurice Ager in the trade to help come close to the money owed Hughes, per NBA rules.

"That's fine," Hughes said Tuesday night. "I'm ready to play, whether it's here or somewhere else."
