Bulls to begin negotiations with Nikola Mirotic

The Bulls will begin negotiations for the first time this offseason with Nikola Mirotic, who has a buyout this summer.

Though Real Madrid made noise about possibly signing Mirotic to an extension beyond the one year remaining on his deal, that could contain an out clause should Mirotic opt for the NBA.

"We feel confident he will come over at some point. Whether that's this summer or next, we don't know," general manager Gar Forman said at last week's NBA draft combine.
