Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
The Bulls aren’t necessarily doing this deal to acquire Saric.
Although, he’ll be a solid addition to their rotation. They could use some frontcourt depth. Still, that’s not their main priority here.
The Bulls do this deal to clear salary. Saric is on an expiring contract. For that matter, so is White – but in all likelihood, the Bulls won’t look to retain him this summer anyway.
They might as well get something in return for him. A pair of second-round picks isn’t a substantial haul, but it’s better than nothing.
