Dunleavy Jr.
CHICAGO - - Mike Dunleavy Jr. will suit up for the Chicago Bulls next season, his fourth team in 11 years.
In a report by Marc Stein of ESPN.com, Dunleavy reportedly agreed a two-year, $6 million contract. But the deal won't become official until July 10, when the NBA lifts the moratorium on NBA free agents and Dunleavy can sign on the dotted line.
The 32-year-old Dunleavy, who also had stints with the Golden State Warriors and the Indiana Pacers, last played for the Milwaukee Bucks from 2011-2013, where he averaged 10.5 points per game in 25.9 minutes. The Duke University alum has career averages of 11.9 points and 4.5 rebounds an outing while shooting 37% from the 3 point area.
Dunleavy, a 6-foot-9, 230-pound small forward, is deemed as replacement for Marco Belinelli, who played solidly for the Bulls during last season and is expected to receive offers from other teams that the Bulls won't be able to match due to salary cap concerns.
Dunleavy was drafted third overall by the Warriors in the 2002 NBA draft. He then played for the Pacers from 2007 to 2011, norming 19.1 points a game.
He is the son of Mike Dunleavy Sr., a former longtime NBA player and head coach with a 1999 Coach of the Year award under his belt. (JAM)
