Bulls eye Grant to beef up at power forward


Bulls eye Grant to beef up at power forward: "According to an NBA source, Paxson and Bulls coach Scott Skiles contacted Grant shortly after the power forward was waived by the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Grant, 33, is coming off the worst season of his 11-year NBA career -- he averaged 3.8 points and 3.7 rebounds while missing 13 games because of tendinitis in both knees -- but is exactly the kind of veteran big man the Bulls are looking to add."


Will any amnesty free agents play for Chicago ? The team has only 2.2 million to offer if they sign Chris Duhon.
What would Grant gain by playing for Chicago? It's a top sports market; a team good enough for the playoffs but eliminated in round one; team with a controversial coach (albeit less so since he turned this team around); a player who's a good citizen and undoubted likes a structured, no nonsense environment.

BTW, Rumors said Finley would be released and play for Miami.
