Looks like JR's on his way to Denver, in what appears to be another salary dump. At least we get 2 2nd rounders out of it...
QUOTE Before Griffin’s signing becomes official, the Bulls will send shooting guard J.R. Smith to Denver for two future second-round draft picks and the nonguaranteed contract of point guard Howard Eisley, who will then be released. One potential delay is waiting for physicals to be completed in the trade with New Orleans. The Bulls acquired Smith from the Hornets, along with power forward P.J. Brown, in exchange for Tyson Chandler. They can’t unload Smith until that deal becomes official. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/bulls.asp |

Well I figured a wing player was going to have to go somewhere, but I thought we could have gotten more value. Its evident this is a salary move and maybe its a precursor to something else.
I was thinking we'd make this deal, keep Eisley, and than swing Duhon somewhere but it appears we'd just release Eisley so essentially we dealt Chandler for PJ Brown and 2 2nd round choices. Obviously we didn't get the talent, but we got the money and that is something as much as a lot of fans may have a problem with it. We also got a vet leader that should help this team develop NOW. |
