Bennedict Mathurin to Chicago via sign-and-trade feels inevitable.
Bryson Graham is a ‘big fan’ of Mathurin, per @TheSteinLine.

The Bulls are trying to find a team willing to take on Patrick Williams in exchange for draft compensation.
Williams has three years remaining on a $90 million extension, which includes an $18 million player option in 2028.
Chicago is in active pursuit of Bennedict Mathurin.
