The Chicago Bulls and R.J. Hunter are engaged in serious talks on a deal.

Hunter was waived by the Boston Celtics as part of their final roster cuts for the regular season.

Hunter was the 28th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Georgia State.

The Bulls are in need of perimeter shooting on the wing

Good spot for him, R.J. could probably learn a lot from Rondo and Wade. Bulls definitely needed another shooter.

Happy for him if it works out. He is JJ Reddick light.

Needs to show he can shoot in the NBA at all (still gets a pass on that) but it's a team that needs to take that kind of shot on a guy.

So happy for him!

If Hunter ever reaches his potential, and who knows...? Getting mentored by Wade and Rondo? Two very feisty and strong personalities on the court? He might be getting a lot better open looks too.

Good luck!

I wish him luck. He needs to find his shot if he's going to stick.

Didn't get claimed on waivers by anyone.  I guess the market really was zero for him.

Ha. No one sees the double irony here?

They really need another shooter. This could be a great bench spot with their record with backup guards

I hope he sticks there.  Appreciate his skill set... just has to figure out a way to rethink his offensive game and really start bulking up.

I'm happy for him. Hope he does well.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

They only signed him to get the scouting report on the C's before their big game ... ala Belichick.  ;)

Yeah, I'd love to see him have an E'twaun Moore type career after leaving Boston

Not quite at the level where Danny will be kicking himself for letting him go but good enough to stick around and make good money
I'm bitter.
