    Carlos Boozer is the latest domino to fall in NBA free agency, agreeing to a five-year deal with the Chicago Bulls, a source close to the negotiations told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher on Wednesday.

    Various sources told ESPN.com that the contract will be for between $75 million and $80 million, but the deal can't become official until 12:01 a.m. ET Thursday.

    The Bulls are still in the running for LeBron James, who is going to make an announcement Thursday on ESPN. Chicago has enough cap space to take on a max contract, and a source close to Boozer said he is going to reach out to James about joining him in Chicago.

    Adding a two-time All-Star in Boozer could make the Bulls more attractive to James.
