The Chicago Bulls are making all sorts of moves as the NBA trade deadline approaches Thursday afternoon.
That's not just limited to trades, either. They've also made a free agent signing.
NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the Bulls have signed Mac McClung, the three-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion.
Fischer added that McClung is joining the Bulls in Toronto, where they will play the Raptors on Thursday night.

McClung has played just nine NBA games in his career, including three this season with the Indiana Pacers.
In his short stint with the Pacers, McClung averaged 11 minutes per game and 6.3 points per game.
He has also played two games for the Magic, two games for the 76ers, one game for the Bulls and one game for the Lakers since his college career split between Georgetown and Texas Tech.
McClung has been a star at the G League level, where he has won an MVP award.

This season in the G League, McClung is averaging a career-high 27.1 points along with 7.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
He's a career 39.4% 3-point shooter in G League action, too.
McClung has never really gotten a big chance in the NBA.
Maybe, just maybe, the Bulls will be the team that gives it to him.
