Bulls Release Mike James, Possibly Making Room For Big Man

Jan 28, 2012 11:18 AM

The Bulls released reserve point guard Mike James early Saturday, dropping their roster to 13 players again.

This could pave the way for the Bulls to add a reserve big man, which general manager Gar Forman has alluded to as far back as training camp.

Leon Powe and Joel Przybilla are two players with whom the Bulls have had conversations to bolster a frontcourt which currently has Luol Deng out.
