Mike Dunleavy Jr. chose to stay with the Chicago Bulls, agreeing to a three-year deal for $4.4 million. It wasn’t the most notable of deals on a day that saw bigger names consent to far more significant amounts of money, but for Dunleavy, understated importance is the norm.

I’m thrilled to be back.
