Swingman Ronnie Brewer has signed a 3 year, $12.5 million deal with the Chicago Bulls.
According to Marc Spears:
Ronnie Brewer tells Y! Sports he turned down Boston offer to sign 3-year, $12.5 million deal with Bulls. Big pro for CHI was chance to start
"I got an opportunity to start (in Chi). Both (Chi and Bos) are storied programs. It came down to where I could excel more," Brewer told Y!.
Brewer says Celtics offered similar $, but starting & re-joining Utah teammates Boozer, Korver were main draw. Utah never made strong run.
Brewer said the luxury tax hampered the Celtics as they tried to acquire him in a sign-and-trade from the Memphis Grizzlies for Tony Allen. Allen had previously decided to sign with the Grizzlies, in a similar deal financially.
I can't blame the guy for wanting to start, but we'll see how important that is come May when the Celtics have eliminated the Bulls from the playoffs... again.
Yes, the Bulls have added some good pieces, but they are quickly becoming over-hyped.
