The Chicago Bulls have signed guard Ryan Arcidiacono to a Two-Way contract. 

Arcidiacono appeared in five games for the Bulls’ Summer League squad this year and averaged 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.80 steals and 24.0 minutes per contest.

Arcidiacono played four seasons at Villanova and was named the NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player in the Wildcats’ championship run in 2016. 

Arcidiacono went undrafted in 2016 and appeared in three preseason games for the San Antonio Spurs and eight games for the Austin Spurs of the NBA Development League.

The Chicago Bulls have claimed David Nwaba off waivers.

The Los Angeles Lakers waived Nwaba to sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Nwaba averaged 6.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 19.9 minutes over 20 games for the Lakers last season.

Justin Holiday has agreed upon a two-year, $9 million deal with the Chicago Bulls.

Holiday was traded by the Bulls to the New York Knicks in June of 2016 as part of the Derrick Rose trade.

Holiday averaged 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assist in 20.0 minutes per game last season with the Knicks.

According to Ian Begley, New York never made a competitive offer to re-sign Holiday.

With the Chicago Bulls trading away Jimmy Butler, a source says the team is focused on getting a top-4 pick in next year's draft.

The Bulls are high on Michael Porter Jr. while Luka Doncic, DeAndre Ayton and Mohamed Bamba are also expected to be high level prospects in the 2018 draft class.

“We’re not going to be throwing huge money at people right out of the gate,’’ John Paxson recently said of free agency.

The Bulls want to keep their young core intact while maximizing their lottery odds.

Cristiano Felicio has agreed upon a four-year, $32 million deal to re-sign with the Chicago Bulls.

Felicio was a restricted free agent.

Felicio averaged 4.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in his second year.

The Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets are expected to pursue Amir Johnson.

Johnson is coming off a two-year contract with the Boston Celtics.

Before joining the Celtics, Johnson played six seasons with the Raptors.

Johnson has always been a productive per minute player during his career.

The Chicago Bulls are expected to waive Rajon Rondo unless a trade materializes before July 1st. The Bulls previously had some trade discussions involving Rondo due to his partially guaranteed contract.

Rondo only has $3 million of his contract for the 17-18 season guaranteed out of his $13.4 million team option. 

The Bulls were signaling they intended to keep Rondo before they pivoted towards a rebuild by trading away Jimmy Butler.

In a January interview, he said his goal is to play "six or seven more years." 

Chicago would prefer to save his salary and offer Rondo's minutes to Kris Dunn and Cameron Payne.

Gar Forman lied to Jimmy Butler in the days leading up to the Chicago Bulls trade of him to the Minnesota Timberwolves and even continued to do so minutes before the deal was completed, according to a source.

“[Forman] knows what he said,’’ the source said. “Flat-out lied. That’s just who he is. Travelle [Gaines] hit it on the head.’’

Butler's trainer Gaines' Tweeted out a message condemning the Bulls' front office after the trade was announced.

“0-82. Worst culture in the league. I met drug dealers with better morals then their GM. He is a liar and everyone knows,’ wrote Gaines.

In the week since Butler's trade to the Wolves, there's been criticism coming out of Chicago about him.

“It’s not frustrating,’’ Butler said when introduced to the Minnesota media. “It’s expected. Somebody’s gotta take the blame. I’ll be that guy, I’m OK with it. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but with that being said my phone is in my back pocket right now, if whoever has anything to say to me feel free … 773-899-6071. So if you want an interview, there you have it, please do."

The Chicago Bulls are willing to discuss a buyout with Dwyane Wade if it is "advantageous" for the team.

Wade has already exercised his $23.8 million player option for the 17-18 season with the Bulls.

With the Bulls trading away Jimmy Butler on draft night, the franchise has signaled their intention to rebuild.

Chicago signed Wade to a two-year, $47.5 million contract during the 2016 offseason.
