As expected, the Bulls signed Jannero Pargo and Lindsey Hunter to one year deals. The team also bought out the last year of Tim Thomas' contract which would have paid the forward $6.46 million next season.
Coach Vinny Del Negro said last week the team wanted Hunter, 38, back to play one more season and continue as a mentor to Derrick Rose and other young players. Hunter will make $1.3 million.
Pargo, as was reported last week, signed a $2 million deal. He is in Las Vegas with the Bulls' summer league team but will not play in the five games, which begin today against Golden State.
