The Chicago Bulls solidified their depth for next season, signing veteran guard/forward Mike Dunleavy and guard Aaron Brooks on Tuesday.

The team did not announce contract terms for either player.

The 34-year-old Dunleavy spent the past two seasons with the Bulls and averaged 10.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 145 games, including 124 starts.

The 13-year NBA veteran’s career began with the Golden State Warriors and continued with the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks. In 902 career games, the 6-foot-9 Dunleavy has averages of 11.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

The 6-foot Brooks is the third free agent to stay with the Bulls during the offseason, joining guards Jimmy Butler and Dunleavy. With Derrick Rose, Kirk Hinrich and Tony Snell returning next season, the Bulls will have the same backcourt as in 2014-15.

Brooks, 30, began his career in 2007 with the Houston Rockets and also has played for Phoenix, Toronto, Sacramento and Denver. In eight NBA seasons, he has averaged 11.2 points and 3.3 assists per game.

In 82 games and 21 starts for the Bulls last season, Brooks averaged 11.6 points, 3.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds.
