Fresh NBA offseason chatter has put Bennedict Mathurin back in the spotlight, with the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Pelicans both mentioned as teams monitoring his situation. The latest reporting points to both clubs still being involved as potential suitors for the Clippers restricted free agent.
At the same time, the Bulls' level of interest appears to be a point of debate. The headline around Chicago suggests there may be some hesitation, even though a source close to the process described the Bulls and Pelicans as engaged in the market for Mathurin.
One notable detail from the report is that Dallas does not appear to be a major factor right now. That narrows the focus to Chicago and New Orleans as the teams most clearly connected in the current round of speculation.
As restricted free agency develops, Mathurin's market could depend on how aggressively interested teams choose to be and how the Clippers respond. For now, the Bulls and Pelicans remain the names most closely tied to the situation, with uncertainty still surrounding how serious Chicago's pursuit really is.
