Adrian Griffin has agreed to a three-year contract with the Chicago Bulls, his agent said Sunday.  Griffin played in Chicago in the 2005/06 season before re-joining the Mavericks, where he previously played from 2001-03.

Agent Tony Dutt said the Mavericks offered a two-year deal at a competitive salary. Dutt declined to reveal financial terms of the Bulls' contract or Mavericks' offer.

"He had such a respect for Avery [Johnson] and the Mavericks organization," said Dutt, who represented Johnson during the Mavericks coach's playing career. "With that being said, players at the end of the day have to go with their gut.
