Bulls claim Nichols off waivers.

[Pugz]

RealGM Staff Report -
The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has waived guard Thomas Gardner. In a subsequent move, the team also announced that it has picked up forward Demetris Nichols on waivers.

Gardner (6-5, 225), an undrafted rookie out of the University of Missouri, appeared in four games with the Bulls this season and averaged 5.3 ppg (9-23 FG) and 1.0 rpg in 11.3 mpg. He shot .391 from the field and .250 from behind the arc. Gardner signed with Chicago prior to training camp on Oct. 1.

Nichols (6-8, 215) comes to Chicago after spending time with New York and Cleveland earlier this season. In three games this year, he has scored two points and grabbed one rebound in 14 minutes. Originally selected by Portland in the second round (53rd selection) of NBA Draft 2007, Nichols enjoyed a four-year collegiate career at Syracuse where he averaged 10.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg and 1.1 apg.

Nichols will join the team tomorrow when the Bulls host the Boston Celtics . With his signing, Chicago’s roster now stands at 15.

I hope Nichols can seriously do good he has already been on three teams.
He should show up everyone who passed on him next time he gets his chance.

Man he must be getting tired of moving. I would've liked to see him stay in New York.

Me to.

One thing though is he has been signed quickly every single time he was released....good sign.

I see a patern... He obviously isn't quite ready for the NBA yet.

No, its just been that he has been on packed teams who already have 15 players pretty much. New York had to cut like 3 to get to 15, and Cleveland wanted to sign Pavlovic and Varejo.

Yea, but the Bulls seem like they could use all the help they can get, and for some reason they didn't sign a big. Like Webber (maybe he refused), or PJ, or even Mike Sweetney (he did really well for them right when he was traded there from the Knicks).

why the hell do we always end up talking about this guy?
he's just going to get cut again...

Not really cause C-Webb has never had 3 teams in one season, he's just been in a lot of rumors about being signed.

I doubt he get's any playing time... He'll probably spend the entire season in the D-League.
