2019 Bulls Free Agency

We also talked about the effects of giving Brogdon a big contract and building a team with him going forward. We then transitioned into a discussion of whether the Bulls are going the right route by preferring to offer short-term contracts, rather than make a big splash. We talked Ricky Rubio, Patrick Beverley, Cory Joseph, and some of the PG options who could be more affordable for the team. We also had a discussion on the Bulls Las Vegas Summer League team and what we're looking forward to seeing the most from the players participating.
