The Chicago Bulls were unable to finalize a trade for guard Peyton Watson, who will join the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of a five-team deal. Watson, a restricted free agent, will sign a four-year, $88 million contract with the Cavs. The Bulls had previously sought additional scoring support to complement new acquisitions like forward Caleb Wilson and guard Norman Powell, who was acquired from the Miami Heat.
