''We're moving toward it,'' Mark Bartelstein, Songaila's Chicago-based agent, said Wednesday. ''Hopefully, by the end of this week or certainly by the beginning of next week, we'll have something done.'' Songaila, 27, a restricted free agent with the Sacramento Kings, came to town Aug. 24 to meet with Bulls general manager John Paxson and the team's coaching staff, and he was so sold on wanting to join the Bulls that he reportedly looked at homes for sale in the area the next day. But Bartelstein said from the start that getting a deal done would be complicated, even though the salary-capped Kings have said they have no intention of exercising their right to match any offer sheet Songaila receives. Bartelstein said many other teams have pursued the 6-9, 248-pound Songaila, who averaged 7.5 points and 3.7 rebounds last season for the Kings.</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
