In their reconstruction project, the Bulls have a nice mid-level exception of $ 9 million that could be very useful to them. There are good assets to be had at this price 6 here are 5 that would do the business of the team perfectly.
5. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
With an average playing time (25.5 minutes), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had his best 3-point season (38.5% success), and this resulted in clutch actions during the NBA Finals. KCP now has the experience of the champion. Only, he has just refused his option at 8.4 million dollars – not sure, therefore, that he is interested in the mid-level of the Bulls.
4. Jae Crowder
From experience, defense, outside shooting, Jae Crowder would do a lot of good in the young Bulls squad. On the other hand, same constraint as with KCP: Crowder comes out of a season at 7.8 million dollars and will certainly aim more next year. And the Heat will probably have the good idea to want to re-sign him … unless he is sacrificed on the altar of their race in 2021.
3. Markieff Morris
Once again, we have here the experience of the champion with Markieff Morris. He can do essentially the same job as Jae Crowder. The problem with him … is that he’s a Morris. In other words, it can quickly go into a spin. But don’t the Bulls need a strong character?
2. E’Twaun Moore
It is especially in the end that the Bulls will seek some support. E’Twaun Moore appears to be a possible solution at this level. He also shoots at 3 points (39% in career), and he doesn’t need the ball to be effective, which means he can leave the leather to Zach LaVine or Coby White. And best of all: he is from Chicago.
1. DJ Augustin
In the same style as E’Twaun Moore, the Magic player has significant abilities on his outside shot (38% in career). On the other hand, DJ Augustin is more focused on the penetration game and he is able to hurt opposing defenses.
Now it’s up to Arturas Karnisovas to play. Jerry Reinsdorf has given him the keys to the franchise, and the former Nuggets general manager is getting down to business.
