Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
This is a no-brainer for the Bulls.
If they hoped White would have a breakout season, they’re surely disappointed. In fact, he’s probably having the worst season of his career. His time in the Windy City appears to be done.
Meanwhile, the Bulls could use an upgrade at the 4. Patrick Williams is still brimming with potential, but he may not be ready to start for a contender yet. By contrast, Crowder is itching to do exactly that.
He’d also make a perfect veteran mentor for Williams. Plus, a contending team can’t have too many 3-and-D wings. At the price the Bulls are paying here, that holds doubly true.
