The Bulls will sign former Laker and Robeson High grad Jannero Pargo to a 10-day contract Monday, waiving veteran Rick Brunson to create a roster spot. Forward Paul Shirley also will be signed to another 10-day contract.

Like Corie Blount before him, Brunson is well-liked in the locker room and is close with Jamal Crawford. But management is keeping Marcus Fizer on the roster for the small chance he can be included in a sign-and-trade scenario this off-season.

Blount and Brunson had expendable, one-year deals. Brunson averaged 3.1 points and 2.2 assists in 37 games with the Bulls.

"I'm disappointed, but I know this is a business," Brunson said Sunday night. "I'll bounce back."

Meanwhile Blount, how with the Raptors, had some words of wisdom for his former team.

"The chemistry is bad [with the Bulls]," Blount told Toronto reporters. "We had individual talent, but for some reasons those guys don't play well together."
