ESPN writer Marc Stein reported on Tuesday that the Chicago Bulls have received a verbal agreement from point guard Aaron Brooks to return to Chicago for another season. Brooks was the primary backup for Derrick Rose last season and served the Bulls well as an offensive spark coming off the bench. However, the Bulls need him to step up his game next season in order to justify his new contract. Brooks disappeared in the playoffs last year and that can’t happen again if the Bulls hope to win an NBA championship.

Brooks can officially sign with the Chicago Bulls on Thursday July 9.
