The Sporting News is reporting that the trade that was made between the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings could be rescinded because of Drew Gooden’s groin injury.

Kings-Bulls deal in jeopardy?

We’ve had one deal rescinded when Tyson Chandler failed to pass his physical with the Thunder — might a similar scenario develop with the Bulls-Kings trade? The Sacramento Bee reported that Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie indicated that Drew Gooden has a groin injury that may be problematic in terms of the physical.

The Kings acquired Gooden from the Bulls on Wednesday in a seven-player deal that sent Brad Miller and John Salmons to Chicago.

Gooden’s physical is scheduled for tomorrow; he has been out with a groin problem since mid-January.

If the Bulls were not to make any other deals, and this one were to get rescinded, that would make for one really bad deadline for the Bulls.

If the Bulls have no other moves planned other than the Miller deal, it is probably a good thing that the Kings rescind this trade, as the trade by itself, leaves the Bulls in a bad financial situation for next year. But still, this would make for a disappointing deadline if the Bulls were to make no personnel changes.

Update: 1:19 PM

According to the Sporting News, the trade is not in jeopardy, and will go through.
