ESPN.com reports: The Bulls have invited guard John Lucas III to training camp with a partially guaranteed one-year contract, according to sources.
After spending last season in China playing for the Yao Ming-owned Shanghai Sharks, Lucas starred for Chicago's summer-league team in July and was described at the time by new Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau as an "ideal" choice to serve as a third point guard behind Derrick Rose and C.J. Watson.
Lucas, son of longtime former NBA player and coach John Lucas, played with Houston when Thibodeau was a Rockets assistant.

Lucas III is the GarPax "grandslam"? Two with upside (and some baggage, but that is for Randy Brown or Myers to handle) are apparently still available: Gerald Green and Javaris Crittendon. The only two on the roster now with upside are Rose and Noah, who GarPax probably cannot sign,
