Bulls buy out Tim Thomas' contract
Posted July 13, 2009 11:00 pm
Forward Tim Thomas and the Chicago Bulls have agreed on a contract buyout, ending the veteran's second stint with the Bulls.
The team announced the move Tuesday.
Acquired from the New York Knicks in February, Thomas averaged 5.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 18 games with Chicago. He was scheduled to make about $6.4 million next season, but the Bulls had no room for him after drafting forwards James Johnson and Taj Gibson last month.
The 32-year old Thomas has averaged 11.6 points and 4.1 rebounds for six teams in 12 years. He was also dealt from the Knicks to the Bulls before the 2005-06 season, but played just three games for Chicago and was waived the following March.
