NBA News Roundup, Friday, May 17th: Zion Williamson 'excited to play for Pelicans', Chicago Bulls want Terry Rozier and more

Terry Rozier is interesting the Bulls

Terry Rozier has had to settle for a bench role due to the presence of Kyrie Irving

Since the Boston Celtics exited the playoffs following a disappointing season, Terry Rozier has been active in voicing his concerns regarding his role on the team.

After spending two seasons playing as a backup to Kyrie Irving, Rozier has expressed his desire to leave, and The Athletic's Daniel Mayberry is reporting that the Chicago Bulls are interested in the point guard:

Aside from (Patrick) Beverley, Boston guard Terry Rozier is on the Bulls’ radar, commanding Chicago’s attention with fearless play and hard-nosed defensive effort.

Inside the Advocate Center, there is genuine belief that Rozier could be exactly who the team needs. Chicago could make a run at the restricted free agent this summer, but it’s unclear who holds the edge between Rozier and Beverley on the organization’s wish list.

Rozier is six years younger, making him a more ideal fit with the current building blocks.

During the 18/19 season, Rozier averaged 9.0 points on 39% shooting, including 35% from three-point range.
