During the Chicago Bulls’ press conference to introduce former coach Doug Collins as a senior advisor of basketball operations on Tuesday afternoon in Chicago, Bulls vice president of basketball ops John Paxson was asked about Nikola Mirotic’s contract situation.
Mirotic, who became a restricted free agent on July 1 when the NBA’s free agency period opened, still remains unsigned for the upcoming season. Outside of the Jimmy Butler trade that led to acquiring Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine and eventually Lauri Markkanen, all the Bulls have done is sign Cristiano Felicio to a four-year deal.
