Lindsey Hunter Agrees To New Deal With Bulls
Monday, July 13th, 2009According to ESPN.com, Lindsey Hunter has come to contract terms with the Bulls to play one more year.
Sources with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.com that Hunter is receiving a one-year contract for the veteran minimum of $1.3 million, similar to the one-year deal for $2 million that the Bulls just completed with Jannero Pargo.
I think that the Bulls wanted Lindsey Hunter back in a player role so that the players don’t tune him out. As a player, he will be one of the guys, and his teammates will be more likely to listen to him. If he is on the coaching staff, and things go bad, players may begin to tune him out. It seems to be pretty common for players to tune out the coaching staff when things go poorly.
