Buyout market

So we need size and three point shooting? Any 6'9" and up guys who shoot at least 35% from 3 on the buy out market? Also were they on pace to make at least 100 threes before getting bought out? Thanks in advance.

People might laugh at me. But Otto Porter is going to be waived. And I wouldnt mind him back. Better than most of the other veteran buy out options.

Could be a decent back up 4 in limited minutes.

Poku got waived. I know we had some huge fans of his, even though I never really understood it. But he’s a tall PF and he’s young. Test drive?

Go get Poku.

I mean seriously there are no drawbacks at this stage.

Why would we want Poku? He sucks and is a young developmental player that only a rebuilding team would want. We're trying to win, I don't see how he helps with that goal considering how raw he is.

Also, considering that we just signed Bitim to a standard contract, I think we can safely put to rest any hopes of signing a buyout.

I do remember someone saying around 2020-21 or so that they would rather have Poku than Lauri and that he would easily and soon surpass him lol

Bitim and Drell are intriguing, Sanogo not so much, but don't expect any of them to play.

Seeing as the Bulls used their last roster spot on Bitim, could they sign Poku to a 2-way contract? I'm not sure if there's an age or years played limit for 2-ways.

If not, why not sign him to a 2-way and see if you can develop him and strengthen him up a bit?

It sounds like Poku is eligible for a two-way contract. According to Hoops Rumors:

Who is eligible to sign a two-way contract?

A player with fewer than four years of NBA experience can sign a two-way contract with a team. Because a player is credited with a year of service on the last day of a league year (ie. June 30), a player with three years of experience is eligible to sign a two-way contract at any time during his fourth NBA season. For instance, a player who is waived halfway through his fourth NBA season is still deemed to have three years of service and could sign a rest-of-season two-way contract.

I'd be on board with a two-way for Poku, but I bet he'll get a standard contract offer from a rebuilding team. If we do sign him to a two-way, we would either have to offer him a standard contract for next season or move on from him.

Thanks for doing the homework for me.

Seeing as Pats out for the season Chimezie Metu would have been a good pick up, not a big shooter but a PF with a bit of size that can rebound.

He had a 22pt, 19rb game earlier this year with Phoenix.

Seemed like an obvious choice to me. :dontknow:

But I guess 6'6" and under is the new 6'8" and over.

Damnit, I keep forgetting about the stupid part.

He looks like the Bulls franchise if it was a person. Underarmed and overwhelmed.

This is his 4th season. So he is not eligible to be signed to a 2 way contract.

Are you referring to Poku? If so that's incorrect, as stated in the quote by GoBlue72391, if he was cut during his fourth season he's still eligible to be signed to a rest of season 2-way contract for this season as he hasn't completed his fourth season yet.

“ Players signed to Two-Way Contracts are paid one salary for their time in both leagues. Only players with three or fewer years of NBA service are able to sign Two-Way Contracts, which can be for either one or two seasons.”

He is in his 4th season. Its players with 3 or fewer years of NBA service.

That was only valid from the 2017-18 season through the 2022-23 season. Prior to this season they changed it to allow 3 players instead of 2 players per team and 4 years of eligibility instead of 3.

Just scroll up a couple posts and read dude, I literally quoted it from Hoops Rumors.

https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/08/hoops-rumors-glossary-two-way-contract.html

Poku is eligible to be signed to a two-way contract this season, but will not be eligible beginning next season.

It's moot anyway since we're most likely not going to sign him.

Furthermore, there's at least two players that I know of that are on two-way contracts right now that have the same amount of experience as Poku: Jerome Robinson and Skylar Mays.

Yup don’t matter Bulls signing Andrew Funk for that 2 way.
