Report: Bulls expected to show interest in 17-year NBA veteran

Heading into the offseason, the Chicago Bulls wanted to improve. Arturas Karnisovas stated the team had no interest in a rebuild. Its goal was to get back into the playoffs. In the two years of having this core together, the Bulls have won a single playoff game, and that simply isn’t good enough.

So, at the beginning of free agency, the Bulls stayed active. They brought in Jevon Carter to be their starting point guard (most likely) and Torrey Craig to give them depth off the bench. They brought back Nikola Vucevic, Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu. But they may not be done yet.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Bulls are expected to be one of many teams to show an interest in 17-year NBA veteran Rudy Gay.

“Veteran forward Rudy Gay is expected to draw interest from several playoff-caliber teams, including the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Chicago Bulls, and New Orleans Pelicans, league sources told HoopsHype.

“Gay was healthy last season minus a finger joint sprain that sidelined him for two weeks and a member of Utah’s rotation through most of last season. Over the last few years of his career, the 17-year veteran has developed into primarily a power forward,” Scotto wrote.

Gay was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in the John Collins deal and then moved to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who waived him.

With the Jazz this past season, Gay averaged 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 38% from the field and 25.4% from distance.
