Linton Johnson - Lint played for the Orlando Magic in training camp, and would have been a good fit and a good player had they been able to afford to keep him. He did survive two days on the regular season roster, but I'm not sure that counts. Since that time, Linton has remained unsigned, presumably waiting on the Bulls to bring him back again.

- Linton Johnson IIILint played for the Orlando Magic in training camp, and would have been a good fit and a good player had they been able to afford to keep him. He did survive two days on the regular season roster, but I'm not sure that counts. Since that time, Linton has remained unsigned, presumably waiting on the Bulls to bring him back again. If it wasn't for the mere technicality that is Jerome James's insurance payments, they probably would have done so by now.
