    The Bulls announced Monday they exercised their third-year option for shooting guard Tony Snell, which will keep the swingman in Chicago through at least the 2015-16 season.

    Snell appeared in 77 games last season, averaging 4.5 points and 1.6 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game as a rookie. But the 20th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft wasn't able to give the Bulls an additional perimeter threat, as he made just 32 percent of his 3-point attempts and shot worse than 39 percent from the floor.

    He showed some improvement in the NBA Summer League, averaging 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in better than 30 minutes per game. He made 50 percent of his 3-point attempts and was named to the All-NBA Summer League First Team.

    They picked up the 3rd year option on Marquis Teague so this is no surprise. If he could be a legit NBA swingman this season, it would be big.

    Speaking about Marquis Teague, he was waived by Philly today. Sixers of all teams.

    Well, since the Sixers are known to be tanking, is it a compliment to be cut by them?

    Nah, I didn't think so either.

    Boston waived Will Bynum. I didn't follow his season last year... He played 56 games, averaged 16.6/7.4 per 36 with a 14.4 PER. Not a 3pt bomber, but he could be the cheap mini PG we really need.
