The Bulls have signed Joe Smith to a 2 year contract to take over P.J. Brown’s role on the team. Smith played in 65 games (11 starts) for the Nuggets and 76ers and he averaged 23.1 minutes, 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Smith hit 44.9% of his shots from the floor and 84.5% from the free throw line last season.

Smith has now played in 816 games (576 starts) over his NBA career and he has averaged 28.8 minutes, 12.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Smith has made 45.4% of his shots, 23.9% of his three point attempts and 79.4% of his free throws. This was a nice signing by the Bulls as Smith showed he still has game after he was traded from the Nuggets to the 76ers in the Allen Iverson trade.
