The Chicago Bulls acquired small forward Otto Porter Jr. in a mid-season trade last year with the Washington Wizards. His annual contract of roughly $28 million seemed well worth it considering he was the type of player the Bulls claim to have wanted to sign in free agency. Essentially he was their first free agent signing of the 2019 off-season.
After Porter joined the team, everything looked rosy. The Bulls went on to win six of their next nine games. Gar Forman was actually being praised for finding the missing piece. The offense was finally flowing and we had a legitimate small forward.
