The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has requested waivers on guards John Lucas III, Kyle Weaver, and forward Roger Powell.

Lucas III (5-11, 165) saw action in five preseason games with the Bulls and averaged 2.2 ppg and 0.8 apg in 6.4 mpg.

Weaver (6-6, 201) played in three preseason contests and posted averages of 2.3 ppg, 2.3 apg, 1.7 rpg and 8.7 mpg.

Powell (6-6, 225) appeared in one preseason game and recorded two points and one board in two minutes of play.

The Bulls' roster now stands at 13:

Omer Asik, Keith Bogans, Carlos Boozer, Ronnie Brewer, Luol Deng, Taj Gibson, James Johnson, Kyle Korver, Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose, Brian Scalabrine, Kurt Thomas, C.J. Watson
