Looking over this roster, I could see why we are in the trouble we are in. Bloated contracts and vastly inferior talent has me dreading this upcoming season. I need to get rid of most of the big contracts for free agency, so I'm expecting to do some cleaning of the house a much a Jordan may hate u for it. Maybe I light my own competitive fire and challenge him on it? Nah, who am I kidding, I'll try and call him first thing in the morning.
I was nervous picking up the phone and calling. Michael sounded pretty calm as I told him of the assignment of Malik Monk to the G-league team, Greensboro Bees. We are currently crowded at Guard and the kid needs a place to grow without being around this very underwhelming team. I was ready to tell him about the talks with other GMS, but not yet, I had not built up the confidence to tell him of the trade we were looking for.
Chicago Bulls Receive:Charlotte Hornets 2021 1st Round Pick
SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Charlotte Hornets Receive:PF Bobby Portis
C Christiano Felicio
In order to get MKG out of the city, we had to give up a 1st in 2021 which I hope to devalue and gain a centerpiece for us in Portis and salary dump in Felicio. The trade may seem a little out of whack, but we get Bobby and immediately lock him up as we look to dump other Salary issues.
