07/13/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls announced Tuesday they have signed sharpshooter Kyle Korver.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but several days ago the Chicago Tribune reported it was a three-year, $15 million deal. Korver, who spent the last two-plus seasons with Utah, joins former Jazz teammate Carlos Boozer in going to the Bulls. Boozer signed with Chicago last week.
Coincidentally, Korver joins a team he once hated.
"I thought Michael Jordan was selfish and I hated the Bulls growing up," Korver said. "I was a Lakers fan. I was actually born in LA, so 'Showtime' basketball is what I grew up watching."
However, he said he came to appreciate Jordan's game more as he worked on his own, and Tuesday, Korver accepted his Bulls jersey with a smile.
"I thought it was the best fit for me," Korver said. "They need some shooting. I'm very comfortable with [Boozer], obviously. I really love the direction this team's going. I feel like I fit in really well."
The 6-foot-7, 212-pound Korver played 52 games for the Jazz last season and shot a league-best 53.6 percent from three-point range, though he averaged just 7.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
Korver, who spent his first four-plus seasons playing with the Philadelphia 76ers, has career averages of 9.9 points and 3.0 rebounds over 517 contests. He has also shot 41.0 percent from beyond the arc and is an 87.9 percent free throw shooter.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
