Lou Amundson officially signed a 10-day contract with the Bulls and will be available against the Nets on Saturday night. |
Amundson will provide decent depth with Taj Gibson (sprained MCL) sidelined. He averaged just 1.6 points and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 36.8 percent in eight minutes per game this season with the Timberwolves. |

Fri Mar 1 2013 | 08:10 | Bulls to sign Lou Amundson to 10-day contract |
The Bulls will sign Lou Amundson to a 10-day contract on Saturday. |
With Taj Gibson sidelined due to a sprained MCL, the move makes sense. Amundson averaged a lousy 1.6 points and 2.4 rebounds on 36.8 percent shooting in eight minutes per game this season with Minnesota. |

Thu Feb 28 2013 | 23:57 | Bulls close to signing Louis Amundson |
The Bulls are in discussion with Louis Amundson about a contract and a decision is expected to be made on Friday. |
The move makes a lot of sense since the Bulls lost Taj Gibson for two weeks with an MCL sprain. Amundson wouldn't likely get more than one 10-day contract, so he's not even close to being on the radar in almost any league. |

Thu Feb 28 2013 | 14:14 | CHI, NYK, BOS, MIA targeting Louis Amundson |
Free agent PF Louis Amundson says the Knicks, Bulls, Celtics and Heat are in the mix to sign him. |
Amundson would provide any of those teams with decent depth up front, but his limited role and even more limited game makes him a non-factor in all fantasy formats regardless of where he signs. |

Tue Feb 12 2013 | 17:40 | Louis Amundson getting interest on market |
The Lakers, Knicks and Sixers have internally discussed adding free agent PF Louis Amundson. |
Amundson has an extremely limited offensive game, but brings a big body and tons of energy to the table. The injury-ravaged Lakers have a roster spot open and could very well to Amundson if Earl Clark's foot MRI comes back bad. |

Timberwolves waived F Louis Amundson. |
Amundson has been a non-factor all season and the team couldn't find an interested taker in a trade. He should get at least a couple of looks on the open market assuming he clears waivers. |

Sat Feb 2 2013 | 07:16 | Report: Sixers, Knicks interested in Amundson |
The Sixers and Knicks are reportedly interested in trading for Lou Amundson. |
Amundson hasn't appeared in a game since January 25 and has yet to eclipse 23 minutes in any game this season. ESPN 1500 writes that the best the Timberwolves could get for him is a "heavily protected future second-round pick," and that sounds about right for the seldom-used backup big man. |

Tue Sep 25 2012 | 17:40 | Wolves officially sign PF Lou Amundson |
Wolves sign PF Lou Amundson to a one-year deal worth the veteran's minimum. |
Amundson will likely find backup minutes at both PF and C in Minnesota, especially since the Wolves aren't expected to keep Dante Cunningham on their regular season roster. The six-year NBA veteran has career averages of 4.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game. |

Mon Sep 24 2012 | 14:48 | Wolves, Amundson agree to one-year contract |
The Wolves and Lou Amundson have agreed to terms on a guaranteed one-year contract worth the veteran's minimum. |
Amundson brings veteran stability to Minnesota's backcourt rotation, and he could help accelerate the development of PF Derrick Williams and C Greg Stiemsma. The Wolves have a nice balance of young guys and veterans, and are clearly hungry to end their playoff drought in 2012-13. |

Unrestricted FA Louis Amundson is reportedly "closing in on a deal." |
Amundson has drawn interest from a handful of NBA teams and has elicited some interest overseas as well. He's not on the fantasy radar at this time. |

Mon Sep 17 2012 | 10:32 | Nothing new on the market for Louis Amundson |
Unrestricted FA Louis Amudson is "talking to a number of teams." |
Amundson continues to attempt to create a market for himself late in the game. For what it's worth, there is "not a favorite" right now for his services. He's not relevant in fantasy leagues. |

Sat Aug 25 2012 | 07:56 | Lou Amundson still surveying NBA, overseas |
Lou Amundson has talked with teams overseas, including Panathinaikos in Greece, but he also "continues to weigh his NBA options." |
Amundson is "confident" that he'll find the right deal in the NBA, but he's been linked to Panathinaikos for weeks and he hasn't ruled out leaving for a bigger role and/or more money (he hope to earn around $3 million per season). He averaged 3.6 points and 3.7 rebounds in a bench role for the Pacers last season. |

Tue Aug 7 2012 | 18:35 | Bobcats, Knicks both interested in Amundson |
The Bobcats and Knicks may both have interest in FA Lou Amundson, who has also drawn interest from Panathinaikos but is unlikely to sign in Greece. |
Amundson is reportedly looking for around $3 million per season, which may not be realistic, but it's worth noting that the Bobcats aren't handcuffed financially, whereas the Knicks can only offer the veteran's minimum. As for why he won't sign in Greece, apparently "the Amundson camp is wary about how Josh Childress' game fell off after he went to play in Greece and returned to the NBA." That doesn't make a ton of sense to us, but take it for what it's worth. |

Mon Aug 6 2012 | 09:48 | Report: Amundson looking for mini midlevel |
Unrestricted FA Louis Amundson is reportedly looking for a deal worth the mini midlevel exception. |
If that's the case, he's probably going to be looking for a while. Amundson's market has been nonexistent outside of the Lakers discussing "the possibility" of adding him, but Los Angeles is unlikely to be interested in paying the veteran anything more than the veteran's minimum. Amundson averaged 3.6 points and 3.7 rebounds with the Pacers last season. |

The Lakers have "discussed the possibility" of signing Louis Amundson. |
Amundson, an unrestricted free agent, played last season with the Pacers as Roy Hibbert's primary backup at center. The Lakers need to add depth along the front line, especially if Jordan Hill signs elsewhere. |

Tue Mar 27 2012 | 06:46 | Louis Amundson to remain backup center |
Louis Amundson will remain Roy Hibbert's backup when Kyrylo Fesenko is cleared to play. |
Fesenko will only play if there is an injury to someone along the frontline, and his signing was more of an insurance policy than anything else. This news should not impact your fantasy team. |

Wed Mar 14 2012 | 00:31 | Amundson out of nowhere for 21 and eight |
Louis Amundson came out of nowhere to score a career-high 21 points in the Pacers' easy 92-75 win over the slumping Blazers, hitting 10-of-11 shots from the field with eight rebounds and one block in 23 minutes off the bench. |
It's always great to hear a player like Amundson get 'MVP' chants, but it's the most recent black eye for a Blazers franchise that claims to be behind embattled coach Nate McMillan. As for Amundson, this is about as fluky as it gets and we'll need to see much, much more before paying him any attention. |

Sat Mar 3 2012 | 22:28 | Amundson posts first double-double of season |
Lou Amundson recorded his first double-double of the season on Saturday, notching 11 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in 16 minutes off the Pacers' bench. |
It seems Amundson will flirt with 20 minutes per game on nights when Jeff Foster's back keeps him out of action. This situation is only worth monitoring in deep leagues. |
