Anthony Morrow will choose a new number with the Chicago Bulls after he received criticism from fans for wearing Derrick Rose's No. 1.

Morrow suited up in the No. 1 and was on the bench for the Bulls' 128-121 win over the Suns but did not play.

Michael Carter-Williams also wore No. 1 earlier in the season but then switched to No. 7 after dealing with angry comments from fans.

Morrow had no idea about the outcry from some fans regarding the jersey number until he was told about the situation from assembled media members in the locker room. 

The Chicago Bulls plan on keeping Rajon Rondo for the remainder of the season.

With Rondo on a partially guaranteed deal for the 17-18 season, the Bulls view Rondo as an attractive trade chip in June to facilitate a potentially larger deal.

The Bulls traded for Cameron Payne at the deadline and he figures to get a shot to be their starting point guard.

Rondo lost his starting point guard job in December.

The Atlanta Hawks pursued trades for both Jimmy Butler and Paul George at the deadline.

Atlanta made aggressive offers built around a package of draft picks with more than three first rounders discussed. The Hawks own all of their own first round picks as well as future firsts from the Wolves and Cavs.

The Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls decided to keep Butler and George respectively.

The Hawks have been stuck between rebuilding and continuing to contend as they decided to keep Paul Millsap at the deadline.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to send Joffrey Lauvergne and Anthony Morrow to the Chicago Bulls for Doug McDermott, Taj Gibson and a 2018 second round pick.

Gibson will be a free agent in the offseason.

The Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder have held trade discussions focused on Doug McDermott and Taj Gibson.

The Bulls have interest in Cameron Payne and Andre Roberson.

Both Roberson and Gibson will be free agents.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are targeting Taj Gibson of the Chicago Bulls ahead of the deadline.

Gibson will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

The Thunder have been starting Domantas Sabonis at power forward this season.

Oklahoma City are limited in what they can trade in terms of future pick assets.

The Philadelphia 76ers have reached out to the Chicago Bulls this week about the availability of Jimmy Butler. The Boston Celtics have also had interest in Butler in the past.

The Bulls have told teams they have no plans to trade Butler.

When the Bulls and Celtics discussed a Butler trade in June, they were seeking Jae Crowder, either Marcus Smart or Avery Bradley, as well as No. 3 and No. 16 picks in the 2016 draft.

Like the Celtics, the 76ers are capable of putting together an enticing package for Butler with their combination of young players and future draft pick assets.

Michael Reindsorf has taken a larger role within the Chicago Bulls this season as Jerry Reinsdorf has shifted to being purely an advisor on major decisions. Even then, Jerry Reindsorf wants his son to have final say.

Former and current Bulls personnel believe Michael Reinsdorf is running the team from a business-first perspective and measures success by the franchise's profitability and marketability. While winning a title remains a priority, it takes a back seat to the Bulls' financial health.

Multiple sources indicated that the anger expressed by several corporate sponsors went a long way in the Bulls staying away from a full rebuild in the offseason, leading to the Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade signings, despite neither being a fit for what coach Fred Hoiberg likes to do offensively.

This calculus figures to play a part in the Bulls' decision on whether or not to trade away Jimmy Butler.

The Chicago Bulls continue to pursue a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers for Jahlil Okafor.

Okafor has been on the trading block by the 76ers for several weeks.

Okafor is a native of Chicago and was the third overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Duke.

The 76ers would prefer to trade Okafor instead of Nerlens Noel as they look to balance their roster.

The Houston Rockets are receiving interest in Patrick Beverley from the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls.

Beverley would like to remain with the Rockets.

Beverley is on one of the NBA's best contracts as he re-signed with Houston in 2015 on a four-year, $25 million deal. Beverley is one of the NBA's best defensive guards.
