Bulls targeting Mitchell Robinson ahead of free agency

The Post has learned the Bulls are continuing to do their research on Mitchell Robinson ahead of the July 1 free-agency period. The Bulls could be the main competitors for Robinson if the Knicks don’t lock him up to a contract extension on June 30. The Bulls want to enhance their interior defense and believe Robinson could be a good fit slotted alongside offensive center Nikola Vucevic. Chicago reportedly has $49 million in cap space but that’s before they commit to free agent Zach Lavine — if they do commit.

Speaking to reporters, Zion Williamson was asked if opening the camp was a sign he wanted to stay in New Orleans. “I do want to be here. That’s no secret. I feel like I’ve stood on that when I spoke,” Williamson said to reporters at the Dryades YMCA in New Orleans. “Currently, this does not really have anything to do with that. This is just me wanting to be a pillar in my community.” -via ESPN / June 11, 2022 When asked about the extension, Williamson flashed a big smile and said, “You have to ask the Pels, baby.” -via ESPN / June 11, 2022 Williamson has been working out in New Orleans along with several other Pelicans since then. “It was a long year for me or rehab and mental battles.

Williamson added that he’ll spend the rest of the summer working out preparing for the 2022-23 year while also taking a week or two to himself toward the end before the season starts. -via ESPN / June 11, 2022
