Scal knows Thibs’ defensive scheme and doesn’t complain about going months without minutes, that’s the perfect guy to have sitting on the bench.

Scal’s value will be at practice, in the second half when guys get hit with the injury bug, and eventually when he retires i can EASILY see him becoming one of Tom’s assistants.

Scal to Bulls

Thank you Scal and good luck (We'll beat you, though).

According to ESPN, Scal to the Bulls is a done deal (on a non guaranteed contract however) :

Quote
Free-agent forward Brian Scalabrine has agreed to a non-guaranteed contract with the Chicago Bulls, according to a Yahoo Sports report citing a league source.

The source told Yahoo Sports that new Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, formerly a Boston Celtics assistant, wanted Scalabrine and pushed hard for him with Bulls general manager Gar Forman and vice president John Paxson.

Scalabrine, 32, spent five years with the Celtics and had limited playing time last season. He averaged 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in nine seasons with the Celtics and New Jersey Nets and made four trips to the NBA Finals, including a title-winning campaign with Boston in 2008.
