It was a whirlwind 72 hours for R.J. Hunter on the eve of the NBA season. He lost the battle for the Celtics' final roster spot to James Young and was waived, a new low for the former Georgia State star who was a first-round pick a year ago. Days later, he worked out a deal with the Bulls, who had an open roster spot, and faced the team that cut him on opening night.
Hunter didn't play in the Bulls' season-opening 105-99 win over the Celtics — the signing didn't become official until minutes before tipoff — but he was in the United Center and saw his former teammates and coaches.
