The Terms
The Chicago Bulls acquire Lonzo Ball via sign-and-trade from the New Orleans Pelicans for Tomas Satoransky, Garrett Temple, and a second-round pick. Ball signs a four-year, $85 million contract.
The Bulls sign Alex Caruso to a four-year, $37 million contract.
The Bulls acquire DeMar DeRozan via sign-and-trade from the San Antonio Spurs for Thaddeus Young, Al-Farouq Aminu, a future first-round pick and two future second-round picks. DeRozan signs a three-year, $85 million contract.
Initial Reaction
Seth Partnow: We had our discussion of the Bulls moves mostly written after the Ball and Caruso acquisitions. The consensus was pretty much wholly positive and then OH NO WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!
What was a very productive and sensible offseason took a sudden turn with what is, to me, an egregious overpay for DeRozan in terms of both assets sent to the Spurs as well as the contract given to a player who seemed on track to perhaps sign a midlevel deal of some kind with a contender.
