Nikola Mirotic will not have surgery following his dustup teammate Bobby Portis a couple of weeks. This sounds a little weird, considering the 26-year-old forward suffered facial fractures that has him sidelined indefinitely, but the possibility has been on the table from the start.

Dwyane Wade didn’t opt into the final year of his deal with the Chicago Bulls just so he could make $23.8 million.

Rondo missed the last four games of the first round because of a fractured thumb, but believes Chicago would have beat the Celtics had he been healthy enough to compete. In fact, Rondo believes the Bulls, who [...]

So much for the Chicago Bulls blowing it up. Despite a roster with overlapping and non-complementary talent, the Bulls don’t seem itching to blow everything up.
