By K.C. Johnson (Chicago Tribune)TORONTO — With the NBA trade deadline arriving at 2 p.m. Thursday, the Bulls continue to explore adding a shooting guard, perhaps the Rockets' Courtney Lee or the Grizzlies' O.J. Mayo - on their terms.
That translates to offering draft picks and absorbing money into their roughly $2.9 million of salary cap space. A player would have to be included to offset the remainder of Mayo's $4.45 million deal, but a league source said the Bulls are rebuffing teams' requests for Omer Asik and Taj Gibson for now.
Coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday's acquisition of another first-round pick for James Johnson "gives us flexibility moving forward." The Bulls don't feel pressure to make a deal.
