According to sources, the Chicago Bulls, late Tuesday, agreed to terms with F Brian Scalabrine. The terms were not disclosed, but he was signed to a non-guaranteed contract.

Newly hired coach, Tom Thibodeau, was lobbying for the Bulls to sign Scalabrine as a veteran presence and a three point threat. Thibodeau also believes that Scalabrine will be able to contribute both on and off the floor. 

Scalabrine played nine seasons in the NBA with the New Jersey Nets, and Boston Celtics. Scalabrine was selected 35th overall by the New Jersey Nets  in the 2001 NBA Draft. On August 2, 2005, Scalabrine signed a five-year, 15 million contract with the Boston Celtics. Scalabrine earned his first and only NBA championship ring with the Boston Celtics in 2008 and in his time in Boston, Scalabrine was a fan favorite.
