Hamilton appeared in 50 games this season, averaging 9.8 points and 2.4 assists on 42.9 percent shooting.

The veteran had a second disappointing season for a Chicago team that has struggled to find the answer at shooting guard for quite some time. Hamilton battled a number of injuries, including back spasms that caused him to miss 19 games. After sitting out nearly the entire first-round playoff series against Brooklyn, Hamilton returned for the final two games against Miami and scored 11 and 15 points, respectively. Given the late-season emergence of Jimmy Butler, all signs point toward the Bulls buying out the final year of Hamilton's contract for $1 million. The 35-year-old will likely look to latch on with a contender as a veteran shooter off the bench.
