Bulls officially add Korver

Basketball Betting Lines

07/13/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls announced Tuesday they have signed sharpshooter Kyle Korver.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but several days ago the Chicago Tribune reported it was a three-year, $15 million deal. Korver, who spent the last two-plus seasons with Utah, joins former Jazz teammate Carlos Boozer in going to the Bulls. Boozer signed with Chicago last week.

Coincidentally, Korver joins a team he once hated.

"I thought Michael Jordan was selfish and I hated the Bulls growing up," Korver said. "I was a Lakers fan. I was actually born in LA, so 'Showtime' basketball is what I grew up watching."

However, he said he came to appreciate Jordan's game more as he worked on his own, and Tuesday, Korver accepted his Bulls jersey with a smile.

"I thought it was the best fit for me," Korver said. "They need some shooting. I'm very comfortable with [Boozer], obviously. I really love the direction this team's going. I feel like I fit in really well."

The 6-foot-7, 212-pound Korver played 52 games for the Jazz last season and shot a league-best 53.6 percent from three-point range, though he averaged just 7.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.

Korver, who spent his first four-plus seasons playing with the Philadelphia 76ers, has career averages of 9.9 points and 3.0 rebounds over 517 contests. He has also shot 41.0 percent from beyond the arc and is an 87.9 percent free throw shooter.
