Bulls announce summer roster

The Bulls announced their roster for the Las Vegas summer league. The list includes four players expected to stick with the team this year - first-round draft pick Denzel Valentine, second-year forward Bobby Portis, second-year center Cristiano Felicio and point guard Jerian Grant, who was acquired in a recent trade from New York.

The summer roster includes some familiar names, including Northwestern guard Tre Demps, former Notre Dame forward Jack Cooley, who played at Glenbrook South High School; Maryland guard Rasheed Sulaimon, former Tennessee State guard Patrick Miller, a Chicago native from Hales Franciscan; former Maryland swingman Dez Wells, forward Raymar Morgan, who left Michigan State in 2010, and 6-10 Croatian center Aleksandar Marcius, who played at Purdue. The Bulls did not keep guard Spencer Dinwiddie, acquired from Detroit last month for Cameron Bairstow.

The Bulls will open play in the Las Vegas summer league at 1 p.m. Saturday against Boston. They'll face Philadelphia on Sunday and San Antonio on Tuesday before the playoffs begin.

• The Bulls completed a couple of trades Thursday, which were done to create enough cap space to sign free agent Dwyane Wade. Mike Dunleavy went to Cleveland, along with the rights to Vladimir Veremeenko, for the rights to Albert Miralles, a 34-year-old forward who plays in Spain. Jose Calderon was sent to the Los Angeles Lakers, along with 2018 and 2019 second-round draft picks, for the rights to Ater Majok, a 6-10 forward originally from Sudan who played briefly at Connecticut.

Dunleavy spent three seasons with the Bulls. Calderon, obtained last month from New York in the Derrick Rose trade, never played for the Bulls.
