If the Bulls opt to let Asik walk, they will be faced with having to sign another backup center, but it could leave room to re-sign one of their other free agents, such as point guard C.J. Watson, or pursue other backcourt help, like veteran combo guard Willie Green, who has emerged as a target, according to an individual with knowledge of the Bulls’ free-agency plans.

Highish percentage shooter, used to a reserve role, not TOO old, not sure that he can shoot from deep and it doesn't look like he can be a PG. Hard to say about his defense.

Seems like a nice enough role player, stats seem to say he'd be a better scorer than a Brewer. Not sure what else to say since I don't really know him, lol.

Willie Green would be a pretty solid rotational player. Since he played for Atlanta last year, I saw him numerous times and he hits the 3 ball pretty well. Very average player that doesn't do anything great, but he'd be a solid replacement to the Bench Mob if we end up losing CJ, Korver, etc.

I know nothing about him but looking at the stats he had the 7th best 3pt% last year so if Korver doesn't come back he seems like he'd be a good addition....
