Former Bulls guard Jalen Rose was predicting where potential free agents will land before the 2015 season, and some surprise answers were said.

Rose thinks Portland Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews will be in a Bulls uniform next season.

The 6-foot-5 shooting guard only played in 60 games last season before tearing his achilles against the Dallas Mavericks. Matthews averaged 15 points, three assists and four rebounds before his injury.

Rose also predicted during the course of the segment that Bulls guard Jimmy Butler would stay in Chicago.

Matthews and Butler play very similar positions, but the Portland Trailblazers free agent can come off the bench in the new Fred Hoiberg offense.
