A proposed four-team trade would send Derrick Jones Jr. from Dallas to the Lakers, reuniting him with Luka Doncic. Los Angeles would give up Dalton Knecht to the Mavericks along with cash, while Daniel Gafford would head to the Clippers and Jake LaRavia plus cash would go to Chicago.

Chicago has signed Brandon Boston Jr., Orlando Robinson and Drew Peterson to training camp deals, according to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic. Boston spent last season with Fenerbahce after his last NBA stint came under new Bulls exec Bryson Graham in New Orleans.

A proposed three-team trade would send Bobby Portis to the Lakers to shore up their frontcourt behind Walker Kessler and Kevon Looney. Miami would get Jalen Smith, Tre Jones and Jarred Vanderbilt, while Chicago would take on Nikola Jovic and Dalton Knecht.

Kevin Knox II is signing an Exhibit 10 deal with Orlando to join training camp, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. The 27-year-old spent last season with Chicago's G League affiliate, averaging 22.7 points and 8.2 rebounds.

Lonzo Ball has denied reports that he retired, writing on X that the idea is "news to me" and that he still hopes for an NBA offer.

Chicago signed undrafted guards Houston Mallette and Peter Suder to non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contracts.

Fadeaway World's Fran Leiva names Jalen Smith as a Bulls player who could be dealt this season, pointing to his expiring $9.4 million salary as easy matching money in a deal. Leiva argues Smith's 37.3% three-point shooting makes him a useful stretch big for a playoff team.
