Previous reports said Chicago was interested in Gary Neal, but now the attention has shifted to former Lakers point guard Jeremy Lin, according to Mark Medina.

The Bulls will have to win Lin over because there are six teams trying to sign him including the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers expressed interest in retaining Lin after free agency began on Tuesday night, according to a league source familiar with the situation. Lin also fielded interest from several teams, including Dallas, Memphis, Indiana, Chicago, San Antonio and the Clippers, according to a league source. But before free agency began, both the Lakers and Lin felt lukewarm about a reunion for several reasons.

The 26-year-old averaged 11 points, four assists and two rebounds last season.
