Scalabrine played for the Celtics for five years prior to joining the Bulls in 2010. He averaged 1.1 points, 0.6 rebounds and 4.6 minutes per game during his two seasons with the Bulls and became a free agent at the end of last year. While the "White Mamba" may not be done playing altogether--he's left open the possibility of playing overseas in January--he likely won't be returning to the NBA.
