Magic Johnson tweeted the following:  Congratulations to Denzel Valentine, the Bulls are getting a good all around player that can do a little bit of everything.

Valentine said, I am glad I'm going to the Bulls.  I'm going to give them my all, and I'm just glad to get this process going.  Here's more from the Lansing State Journal.
