Bulls lock in Noa Essengue on multi-year deal

Boston's G League affiliate acquired the returning player rights to center Ibou Badji, forward Tyler Polley and guard Erik Reynolds II from the Windy City Bulls.

Jordan Hawkins has agreed to a two-way contract with the Bulls, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Chicago had an open two-way slot, so no roster swap was needed there, though a preseason player on an Exhibit 10 deal will have to be released.

Chicago waived undrafted rookie Peter Suder on Friday to make room for Isaiah Stevens, ESPN's Dave McMenamin and others note. Suder had signed with the Bulls on an Exhibit 10 deal after the Lakers released him from his two-way contract following a rocky Summer League.
