By KC Johnson (Chicago Tribune)Roster roulette: The Bulls waived Mike James, who was signed Jan. 11 when both Rose and C.J. Watson were out with injuries. Having returned to the Development League to attempt a comeback, James, 36, provided a compelling example of the team's uncanny depth when he delivered nine points and 10 assists Jan. 21 versus Charlotte.
The move drops the roster to 13, which means a reserve big man could be added at some point. General manager Gar Forman alluded possibly to doing so as far back as training camp. Leon Powe and Joel Przybilla are two players the Bulls have considered signing.
The Bulls also typically like to keep roster and financial flexibility approaching the trade deadline, which is March 15 this season. Sources said the Bulls haven't ruled out bringing James back after that deadline if the roster is still at 13.
