The Bulls have signed Mouhamadou Gueye for the remainder of the season, announcing the news in a press release.
A 6’9″ forward from Staten Island, Gueye has spent the 2025/26 campaign playing for Chicago’s G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls. In 47 Tip-Off Tournament and regular season games with Windy City, Gueye averaged 14.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 29.2 minutes per contest. His shooting slash line was .517/.333/.627.
Gueye has spent most of the past four years in the NBAGL, suiting up for the Texas Legends, Raptors 905 and Capital City Go-Go prior to catching on with the Bulls’ affiliate. He went undrafted out of Pitt in 2022.
This will be Gueye’s second NBA stint, as he spent part of 2023/24 on 10-day and two-way contracts with Toronto. He appeared in 11 games as a rookie with the Raptors, averaging 2.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per contest.
Assuming he received a minimum-salary contract, Gueye will earn $47,092 for spending the final four days of the regular season with the Bulls, who had an open standard roster spot. The exact details of the deal have yet to be confirmed, but if it’s just a rest-of-season commitment, the 27-year-old will be eligible for restricted free agency this summer.
Things are looking up already. At least they signed a guy who wasn’t a Guard.
I wonder who exactly did the signing. Do you think Michael Reinsdorf did it himself?
Bulls have 5 guards who are 6’3″ and under, and played four of them at the same time tonight. They still had no trouble with the Wizards G-League team. Isn’t tanking great?
Have they waived Tony Bradley then?
They don’t have an open spot otherwise. They had to cut Houstan to get Bradley so they are full unless they made a cut @Rory Maher
Forget it I was thinking of Hawks
A perfect backup PF
Why didnt they add a team option for next season, fully not guaranteed?
Allows some manoeuvring for salary matching, even if the acquiring team waives him instantly that can be interesting…
I think this might end up being a multiyear deal even though the Bulls’ announcement referred to it as rest of season. Waiting on the details.
Looks like it ended up being TO-2026, RFA 2027
Peak irony after waiving Jaden Ivey
Extend Miller.
Those are nice stats for 4. Imo you have to keep Richard .
Who is Richard? Are you talking about Richards? Problem is that he will be paid by another team and he’s not worth giving 10-12M on a bad rebuilding team at age 28 with limited offensive skill set. He’ll turn 29 at the beginning of the season. I like him, but it’s not a must have to keep him on the roster when other bigs who are better will be available via trade and FA.
Um Richards your center. Is that hard without the “S”. Gee forgive me.
I doubt he gets that. And now the Bulls are a bad rebuilding team. This is where we differ. I see the world as half full. You see it half empty. That’s your real problem with me.
Imo the Bulls are close. They blew the Ayo and Coby trades. So now you must rely on FA. That’s your management there. The right picks. Makes this team a young playoff team 9-7. Gotta keep Richard. He helps Buzelis and Essengue growth. He is in his peak yrs. Three yrs 20 mill. You can find a center in 2nd rd. Plenty there. You score Burries and Taris Reed that would be major. I trade up for him. He’s top of 2nd rd. .
What are we close to? Respectability? Eastern Conference? Again, you want us to pay Richards around $10-12M AAV based on what? Need? I just told you he’s turning 29 and doesn’t have any real strengths. He’s not a shot blocker either. He averages 0.8 BPG for his CAREER. Everyone is expecting Richards to get at least 8-10MM AAV based on how bad this free agency class is. His cap hold for next year will be $9.5M if we keep him. No thanks, and for three years based on what you are suggesting is dangerous. They literally have no bad contracts outside of Patrick Williams for the future, and you want us to spend $10M on a guy who doesn’t rim protect.
Tank has Reed at 40 so we really don’t need to trade for him. This is how we still stay stagnant as a franchise. Making moves for projected 2nd rounders while giving up either future draft capital or players. Makes zero sense in that regard. I rather have the kid from Arizona. Krivas who is 7’2 and looks like he has a high IQ for the game. I liked what I saw from him in the tournament. He is projected to go at 34, but let’s see how he does at the draft combine if he chooses to attend.
The one guy they need to keep is Leonard Miller. He’s been terrific off the bench.Had 26/11 last night against a horrible Wizards squad but still produced eye popping numbers. I like his game a lot. He’s 6’10 and can hit the 3 too. We might have found a stretch 4 somehow.
I kept telling the Wolves to play him more. You have a nice SF and PF combo in Matas and Miller. Both 21 years old so build from that age. Dillingham could be a decent backup PG and is that age. Noa is there too, now he is redundant with Miller there
Nobody knows what Essengue can do lol. Miller has already shown us fans enough. Already a fan favorite from what I’ve seen on social media.
Reed could be a nice PF. Spurs should look at him
Really—. The NBA has ten playoff teams every year.
9-7 means what ?? What did i say. We are talking building a tean. You build fir playoffs.
“ The right picks. Makes this team a young playoff team 9-7. “ …….
You need a definition for 9-7 young playoff team. What part of that don’t you get.
WTF is 9-7 playoff team? This isn’t football.
