The Chicago Bulls continue to add to their roster as the offseason comes to a close.
The Bulls have signed forward Alize Johnson, guard Matt Thomas, and forward Stanley Johnson to help sure up their bench depth.
Alize Johnson signed a two-year deal with the Bulls following being waived by the Brooklyn Nets after the signing of LaMarcus Aldridge, first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Johnson, who averaged 5.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 18 games with the Nets last season, provides much-needed depth in the front court for Chicago as an above average rebounder who plays with great energy.
Free agent F Alize Johnson has agreed on a two-year, $3.6M deal with the Chicago Bulls, his agent @GeorgeLangberg tells ESPN. The Bulls had a need for power forward depth and roster offers some real opportunity for Johnson.
