Arturas Karnisovas on what attracted the Bulls to Dalen Terry: “High motor, energy guy. 6-7, 7-1 wingspan. Good defender. Versatile guy.” Said he was “loudest guy in the gym” during workout – 12:04 PM

With free agency beginning Thursday, it’s important to remember the Bulls’ commitment to do whatever it takes to retain Zach LaVine began last offseason. They’ll just formally follow through on that commitment this week.

Amid all of the Kyrie Irving speculation, he is 95-1 to win #NBA Most Valuable Player award in 2022-23. Bradley Beal is 110-1 and Zach LaVine is 160-1. Steph Curry is 18-1 behind seven others. Doncic, Embiid, Giannis are 1-2-3 most likely. LeBron James is 23-1. – 8:40 AM

This quote from Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd stands out to why Dalen Terry is a Bull. In his optimized version, he can read game well, cut and pass. If he hits potential, seamless fit alongside premier decision-maker Lonzo Ball, placing Zach LaVine in more catch-and-shoot situations pic.twitter.com/buw1kyXPnV – 11:25 AM

Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
With Zach Collins’ contract guaranteeing today, the Spurs’ max cap space potential is now $34.4 million.
That’s still enough to send a max offer to a free agent with 0-6 years experience (Ayton as example).
Not enough for player with 7 or more years experience (Ex: LaVine) – 5:16 PM
