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 |

The whole Chandler move was a cost cutting move. First for Big Ben, then next year when Brown's contract expires, that will free up more space for the Bulls to acquire another big FA.
The only thing I can think of is the Bulls felt there was more value in getting Griffin and 2x 2nd Round picks than there was with keeping JR. I actually thought he was the steal of the trade. |
