The Chicago Bulls season is ramping up, as are the news and rumors about the team.
Check out the latest buzz below.
Lucas May Rejoin Bulls
John Lucas III is currently a free agent and is looking for a long-term place to call home.
That place could be the Bulls, where the seven-year veteran had his best season in the 2011-12 season.
The Bulls only have 14 players on the roster, and could use another guard.
Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Brooks both play point guard behind Derrick Rose, but all Rose and Brooks have already been dealing with injuries while the Bulls also lack an established backup shooting guard behind Jimmy Butler.
That means Hinrich will likely see some time at shooting guard, opening up the need to more depth.
League sources told RealGM that Lucas wants to return to the Bulls.
“John has received interest from different teams, but to say he has declined any formal offers would be inaccurate,” Lucas’ agent, Bernie Lee, said.
“John is in a situation, after a crazy summer, of trying to make the right decision versus any decision, but he is willing to prove himself as requested. John owes a tremendous amount of his value in the NBA to the opportunity Chicago’s front office gave him there initially. Over time, it’s become clear that Gar Forman has a unique ability to find value in obscure places: He signed John out of China, and he might be the best in the NBA at this. In some ways John was at the beginning of this.”
