The Chicago Bulls say they have signed forward Mike
Dunleavy Jr. and backup guard Aaron Brooks.
The deals were announced Tuesday. Both players reached agreements
before the league's signing moratorium ended last week.
Dunleavy, who turns 35 in September, got a three-year, $14 million
contract. He averaged 9.4 points in 63 games - all starts - and
shot 41 percent from 3-point range for Chicago last season. In the
playoffs, he averaged 10.9 points and shot 48 percent from beyond
the arc.
The 30-year-old Brooks averaged 11.6 points for the Bulls last
season.
Chicago's roster returns virtually intact after a 50-win season
that ended with a loss to Cleveland in the Eastern Conference
semifinals. The Bulls fired coach Tom Thibodeau and replaced him
with Fred Hoiberg.
