The Bulls are expected to add another player with a veteran's minimum contract. League sources said they've had serious talks with guard Toney Douglas http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...eason-moves-spt-0729-20140729,0,1787131.story
We've gotta have this guy. On basketball-reference.com, his similarity scores read like a Bulls Who's Who - Quentin Dailey, Bobby Hansen, Eddie Robinson and Trent Hassell.
After signing Aaron Brooks, the Bulls no longer are in talks with Toney Douglas. They do plan on signing at least one and possibly two players to veteran minimum contracts. Their targets are one more big man for depth and a wing. Chicago Tribune - See more at: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...-bits-bulls-spt-0730-20140730,0,5126289.story
The Bulls have three open roster spots, but only plan to sign two more players? Oh well, I guess an extra $915,243 in PROFITS!!!!!! is more important than having a 15th man on the roster. I guess it could be that they are waiting to see if anyone else becomes available, like Augustin did last year in December?
All kidding aside, unless there's a wing out there that they really like, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls are done giving out guaranteed contracts this summer. As long as they have enough players for practices, they should maintain flexibility to be able to react to unforeseen needs caused by injury.
With 12 players under contract, there is really no reason for the team to give out another guaranteed contract unless a "too good to pass up" player becomes available. But I feel they already were very lucky to land Brooks for the minimum, but who knows? They are better off waiting until training camp to see which player(s) blows them away.
