Bulls finalizing deal with Aaron Brooks

[D-Rose]

Nice addition to the bench. The pocket rocket can provide some nice scoring.


The Chicago Bulls are finalizing a deal with free-agent guard Aaron Brooks, according to sources close to the talks.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Bulls are closing in on the addition of Brooks to give them some backcourt scoring punch off the bench.

Brooks would join former All-Star big man and Real Madrid star Nikola Mirotic as new additions to the team, along with prized rookie Doug McDermott.

Brooks, 29, averaged 9.0 points and 3.2 assists per game while splitting last season with the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets.

Thibs gonna turn him into a player

[SexSymbol]

Good back-up PG, although I'd want Hinrich to play more, he's one of the best defenders ever

[-Lebron23-]

Bulls about to become the 1st team whose bench unit is arguably better than the starting one:

Rose - Brooks

Butler - Hinrich/ Snell

Dunleavy - McDermott

Gibson - Mirotic

Noah - Gasol

Definitely better if Rose sucks as much as he did on the few games he played last year

[Dragic4Life]

2nd most stacked team in the league behind OKC.

Fun fact: Daryl Morey once traded Aaron Brooks for Goran Dragic AND a first round draft pick.

Da genius.

[DMAVS41]

Nice pickup there.

He'll be nice in that role.

Fixed.

[leopoldstotch]

a very underrated signing. He will pay dividends in Feb/Mar when the race is tight.

I do agree the Bulls having a quiet solid offseason. Who needs Melo?

Unlike you boy, Dragic would end his career with RINGS.

Bro, Snell ain't starting lol

Rose
Butler
Dunleavy*
Gasol
Noah

*McDermott has a chance to take this. I'd bet about midway through the season if it were to happen.

Dunleavy is more likely to start IMO bc he's more of a spot up shooter, which is what fits best at the 3 in that lineup.


Also, I agree the Brooks signing is nice.

[poido123]

Interesting.

I can imagine him and rose together causing havoc offensively

[qrich]

Fixed.
