More on Bobby Portis Free Agency
Alex Kennedy: Bobby Portis told me he can imagine staying in CHI his whole career: "I love the city of Chicago. I'm a blue-collar player, it's a blue-collar city. Fans really support me. I just love being in Chicago, playing for the Bulls, throwing those 5 letters across my chest every night." pic.twitter.com/hFlj0MkQKW
KC Johnson: Bobby Portis even stronger on wanting to stay in Chicago: "I couldn’t see myself in any other jersey. Obviously, I got Bulls DNA. Me and the city have a love connection somewhere. I just enjoy playing for the Bulls."
KC Johnson: Mark Bartelstein spent hours at the Bulls' practice facility on Monday, trying to get a deal done in face-to-face negotiations with Bulls GM Gar Forman. "We had very positive talks," Bartelstein said. "These are hard extensions to get done."
