I like him too, but the salary projections for him is more than I'd be comfortable paying a 5th guard. I don't know historically how accurate those are, but $15 mil range is way too much for that role.

Now that we've traded down to #55, I assume we're going to draft and stash some foreign player most of us have never heard of. Usually those guys are never heard from again, but there is the occasional exception.

I don't trust them to do anything. I'm simply stating there are multiple avenues to open up another roster spot, if they see someone in the 2nd they really want.

Carter isn't some trash player. He just didn't work out here. He was a contributor on two contending teams before he came to the Bulls. He simply doesn't have a role here. He can still be a vet who can give spot minutes. $6 million is taxpayer MLE money. It's definitely not a lot of money. Not saying it would be the easiest thing in the world, but it's definitely not some untradeable contract.


Carter's production says otherwise, and I'm merely speaking on how the league views hench why he's still here and not on another team although clearly being out of the rotation. Either way we're stuck with him unless the format as I lead out previously are met, which I doubt el cheapo Jerry or Lazy butt AK will explore.


He's here, because he picked up his player option which was $6 million guaranteed. No player would turn that down. Regardless it's a moot point as it seems they're going to stash the pick.


Exactly and he shall remain here until his contract expires. Bec nobody wants him and bec AK is a lazy butt and will not find a trade to flip him for a draft pick. Why because that would require him to work and scout once he inherits set pick. See why no trades for pics happen my friend.

While I would have kept the pick until I saw who was on the board it does make some sense to trade this pick away and or move back and take a stash guy.


If there are roster spot issues, you trade the 2nd for a future 2nd. That's what a good org like the Spurs did, they traded their 2nd for a future 2nd from Indiana. The fact that the Spurs did it proves other teams are willing to make that kind of deal.

This was 100% just a money move. It has nothing to do with basketball. They didn't save themselves a roster spot this year and didn't get any future assets.

"No one wants him"

"AK is lazy and won't flip him for a draft pick"

Pick one.

Well Zikarsky went right at #45. Instead we walk away with small cash and a guy whose only role on the team will be to keep Giddey company over A Foster's and a Vegemite sandwich.
