Bringing in Otto Porter is a bit of a head scratcher, though he does fill the need the Chicago Bulls have been looking for, the Small Forward position. He has an above average PER and fits the 3 and D mold.

A lot of money is tied up into Zach Lavine and Otto Porter Jr and the Bulls won’t have a lot of flexibility to make a splash. Thanks, GarPax! You’ve done an excellent job! (Sarcasm)
