    Toronto released C Antonio Davis. Could the Bulls sign him?

    If interested can the Bulls sign him straight away or is there a waiting period?

    I think he's injured for the rest of the year, which is why they released him in the first place.

    We where quoted (John Paxson) has saying he would love to have Davis back in Chicago after the Knicks trade went down. We where going to pursue him this summer regardless, because he is a good veteran leader, who will likely sign cheap. So yeah I see us resigning him when the season is over, but not now unless we get into playoff position. Even if he will not be playing his leadership would be valuable

    If you do sign him, he won't be able to play on the Bulls playoff roster, if they make it. Just a heads up to those that are gonna base their opinions in response to this thread.

    If you sign him it will just be for support on the bench or something. He's in no condition to play the game of basketball. Well, at least not in the NBA.

    Ten day contracts can be terminated at anytime.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Bulls have talked freely this season about how much they miss former captain Antonio Davis, who was traded to New York along with Eddy Curry on the eve of training camp. Davis was released by the Toronto Raptors on Thursday.

    Would the Bulls consider signing him with 13 games left? Coach Scott Skiles said he had not yet discussed such a move with general manager John Paxson.

    "I understand he has a back injury,'' Skiles said. "I basically know what I've read. He wouldn't be playoff-eligible. I don't know if it makes sense or not.''</div>

    Skiles sounded doubtful when asked if Antonio Davis, whom the Raptors waived Thursday, would rejoin the Bulls. Davis, who has a back injury, is not eligible for the playoffs because he was waived after the March 1 cutoff. "I don't know if it makes sense or not," Skiles said.</div>
