The Chicago Bulls had the chance to take Jordan Bell in the second round of the 2017 NBA draft but opted to sell the rights to the rookie forward to the Golden State Warriors for cash compensation.
On Friday night, those same Bulls will get the chance to face what they passed on as Bell, along with veteran forward Omri Casspi, will start in place of Draymond Green (rest) and Kevin Durant (ankle), according to head coach Steve Kerr.
