Bulls Sign Brent Barry
Brent Barry, a free-agent guard with Miami and the Los Angeles Clippers last season, joined the Chicago Bulls Monday, signing a six-year, $27 million contract.
Barry practiced Monday at the Berto Center.
"If he does well in Chicago, then obviously they think they've got the next Michael Jordan," said Pat Riley, who coached Barry in Miami last season.

Barry, who averaged 9.6 points in three seasons with the Clippers and Heat, also considered the Golden State Warriors. He chose not to return to the Heat.
Barry, the son of former NBA great Rick Barry, is a former NBA slam dunk champion.
