Chicago - Beijing

[Phil Jackson]

Chicago sends
Chuck Noble
Ofried Pleitz
Gordon McCrea
2019 1st Round Pick (Chi)

Beijin sends
Bill Bridges
Larry Costello
Jim Barnes
Joe Strawder


Bulls accept. I have been after Bridges for a long time and I love his game and defense. Costello has been consistently putting up 19-20 PER and I get younger here overall. Barnes has some nice potential. I don't like the 2019 draft or building by losing and getting a high pick. I also now have ~9M in cap room to spend in FA.

Feels good to finally make a pretty big trade.

I agree. I like what Chuck can do at the 3 which allows Sloan to stay at the 2 and keep rolling. I hate losing Bridges but McCrea is a suitable replacement and I pick up a backup PG with a future 1st.
