Shams Charania: Free agent guard Talen Horton-Tucker has agreed to a partially guaranteed deal with the Chicago Bulls, sources tell @TheAthletic.

The Bulls have 14 guaranteed contracts on the books — plus a partially guaranteed deal with Onuralp Bitim — leaving one open roster spot heading into training camp and the season. However, the club is expected to leave that spot unfilled both for financial savings and roster flexibility. The Bulls also have one open two-way contract that Horton-Tucker and Kenneth Lofton Jr. will be battling for.
Bulls open to trade anyone on roster besides Matas Buzelis ?
Besides rookie Matas Buzelis – not that he’s completely untouchable – Karnisovas would be willing to part with anyone on the roster if they felt it would make the Bulls a better product long term and help them keep the 2025 top-10 protected draft pick. A source reiterated that Karnisovas has come down on what teams felt were unrealistic asks from earlier in the season, but that still doesn’t mean the executive is willing to just give guys away.
