CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls brought in their first new player of the summer when NBA free agency opened Friday, signing guard Jevon Carter to a three-year deal, according to a report by ESPN.
After two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, Carter hit the free-agency market after declining his player option. He reportedly signed a $20 million deal with the Bulls.
For the Bulls, Carter fills a wide variety of needs facing the roster this offseason. He’s a consistent contributor — logging 81 games last season — and brings a hardened edge to the perimeter that should mesh quickly with a Bulls defense that finished fifth in the league last year.
