Jimmy Butler and Nikola Mirotic have returned to Chicago and will not play in the Bulls' matchup with the Knicks on Thursday.
The Chicago Bulls are finalizing a deal with free-agent guard Aaron Brooks, according to sources close to the talks.
Recent free agent Pau Gasol says signing with the Chicago Bulls over NBA champion San Antonio or Oklahoma City came down to a gut decision.
While they chase Carmelo Anthony and Pau Gasol, the Chicago Bulls may be close to landing what they believe is a major addition to their roster as they are working on securing 2011 first round draft pick Nikola Mirotic, sources told ESPN.com.
