Jordan will be suiting up for the Chicago Bulls once training camp begins for the 2015-16 season. No, Michael Jordan isn’t going back to Chicago, the Bulls didn’t make a deal for DeAndre Jordan and Jordan Hill is locked up with the Indiana Pacers.
Instead, veteran swingman Jordan Crawford will be headed to the Bulls on a non-guaranteed training camp deal.
Following from Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports.
Free-agent guard Jordan Crawford has reached agreement on a contract with the Chicago Bulls, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Crawford, who played in summer league with the Dallas Mavericks, will join the Bulls on a non-guaranteed training camp deal.
Crawford – who spent last season as a member of the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants and part of 2014 with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers in China – will be heading to training camp with the Bulls in an attempt to make a roster that already is full of solid backcourt talent. It will be beyond hard for him to make the current team but he has shown some impressive skills before and he might be able to sneak in as the teams 15th man.
In his four career seasons in the NBA Crawford has averaged 12.2 points, 3.2 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game. He split the 2013-14 campaign with the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics. He shined a member of the C’s over 39 games where he averaged 13.7 points and 5.7 assists for Boston.
Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report and NBC’s Pro Basketball Talk summed up the signing very nicely.
A Wizards legend named Jordan going to the Bulls instead of the other way around.
