Last week, the Chicago Bulls signed former Toronto Raptors guard Javon Freeman-Liberty. Now, around five days later, the team has waived him with the intention of sending him to the Windy City Bulls G League team.

Sources: Javon Freeman-Liberty intends to sign with the Chicago Bulls after opting out of his deal in Turkey. He drew interest from Fenerbahce, but he’s focused on pursuing an NBA return. He averaged 24 points, 6.8 boards and 4.2 assists as a 2-way Raptors 905 player last season. pic.twitter.com/5mORNFNmTK

Last season, Javon Freeman-Liberty was on a two-way contract with the Toronto Raptors where he averaged 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists on 44% shooting from the field. He played in 22 games for the Raptors and started in 6 games for the team. It seemed like there was a chance for Freeman-Liberty to make the main roster on the Bulls, but it doesn't seem like that's the case anymore.

As it stands the Chicago Bulls still have a very questionable roster. The team is filled with too many guards and will have a hard time managing minutes for all of them, that's why it'll be even harder for Javon Freeman-Liberty to find meaningful minutes. The Bulls' list of current guards includes Josh Giddey, Lonzo Ball, Coby White, Zach LaVine, Ayo Dosunmu, Dalen Terry, Jevon Carter, Chris Duarte, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Julian Phillips.

The Chicago Bulls may not be the best team in the Eastern Conference this season, but there's a good chance that the team will be fun. There's a very renewed sense of energy between Zach LaVine, Josh Giddey, and the younger players on the team.
