K.C. Johnson: Tiago Splitter on closing with Tre Jones over Josh Giddey: "Cannot say enough about Tre. He changed the game."
“I like good threes,” coach Tiago Splitter said of Hield’s role. “You’re open, shoot it. When you surround your team with gravity like those guys (Hield and Powell), it opens it up for Caleb (Wilson), Matas (Buzelis) to get to the paint, for Nic (Claxton), for Tre (Jones), Josh (Giddey) – they’re all going to play in the paint.”

Blake Murphy: Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, and Jalen Smith are available for Bulls. A few minutes restrictions on Bulls side but Unseld not providing specifics. Jonathan Mogbo back from 905
Joel Lorenzi: Jalen Smith is playing tonight on a “tight” minutes restriction. Giddey is OUT. Tre Jones is IN.
Coby White and Dosunmu will be eligible for free agency after the season, and Tre Jones got a contract extension in July. Karnisovas has been most aggressive in trying to trade White, but Dosunmu and Jones are drawing more interest because of finances.

Although their contracts are longer term, both Tre Jones and Jalen Smith have driven interest in recent weeks. While Jones could be a potential asset still in play, the Bulls’ interest in maintaining a larger presence due to the recent success of two-big lineups could dissuade any deals from prying the center away from the Bulls. That means the Bulls are mostly looking to deal their guards, which could begin the process of rebalancing the roster.
Much of the conversation around the Bulls' present-day machinations, of course, revolves around Chicago's current backcourt. Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones have all drawn notable trade interest from rival teams, sources say. The clear conclusion after being on the ground for two games and three days in the Windy City: White currently ranks as the most likely Bulls guard to be dealt before next Thursday’s trade buzzer … for multiple reasons.
The Bulls have downgraded Tre Jones (left hamstring strain) to doubtful for Saturday’s game against Boston. Josh Giddey (left hamstring strain), Patrick Williams (right ankle sprain) and Lachlan Olbrich (right thoracic strain) are probable.
