Right on the heels of the debilitating news of John Wall’s torn achilles, the Wizards are trading Otto Porter to the Chicago Bulls for Bobby Portis, Jabari Parker and a 2023 second round pick, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Porter had been a lightning rod for the Wizards this season, drawing criticism from fans for a down season while the team continues to struggle. He’s missed time this season due to multiple nagging injuries and has only played in 41 of 53 games.
The Wizards matched a $107 million offer sheet from the Brooklyn Nets on Porter two seasons ago and was due just more than $26 million this season.
