JULY 10: The signing is official, according to a team press release.
JUNE 30: Guard Jevon Carter is joining the Bulls on a three-year deal, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. The Bulls are using a portion of their $12.4MM mid-level exception to secure Carter’s services.
Woj says the deal is worth $20MM, while Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report say it’s around $19MM (Twitter link), so there may be incentives within the deal. Chicago is now projected to be $9MM below the luxury tax and are hard-capped, ESPN’s Bobby Marks tweets. The Bulls are also $15MM below the first tax apron.
Carter is coming off a career year in which he appeared in all but one of Milwaukee’s regular-season games. The defensive-minded Carter started 39 of those games. Overall, he averaged 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
Carter entered the free agent market by declining his $2.24MM option. Financially, it was obviously the right move for Carter, who now joins a seemingly crowded Bulls backcourt, depending on their other moves this offseason. Chicago has also reached an agreement with its own free agent guard, Coby White.
But can he shoot 3s?
He is good as a catch and shoot guy, and a good defender. Smart playmaker. Knows how to play, tough
That is all I needed to know haha
I wouldn’t say he is a smart playmaker, turnover prone, you don’t the ball running through him. Good 3 and D kinda guard though for sure
Formerlyz: agree with his shot and defend, but he isnt smart playmaker
Maybe a little short in height but defends well and is physically tough. Can hit open 3s. Will be 28 years old when the season starts. So still young. Started 39 games for a very good team the Bucks. So can’t be too bad. Bulls didn’t spend a lot to sign Carter. Seems a good signing.
Bulls have no size. Carter’s decent but they only have one non-center on the roster taller than 6’6. Now only $9M to get anyone of size that can shoot…
Nah. Off-season is over for the Bulls. Cheapskate Reinsdorf will not pay luxury tax
That’s what I’m saying. They are hard capped now below the luxury tax and don’t have a single real PF on the roster. Williams is really a SF. Terrible. They are going to keep getting trucked over on D by their lack of size.
I wonder if we’ll see more of Vooch and Drummond on the court at the same time.
Jevon Carter is very solid and will be playing for his hometown team!!! This is a great deal!!! Him and Alex Caruso will be playing great defense on the Chicago Bulls!!!
He’s from Maywood. That doesn’t count. Boring
Maywood is all of 12 miles away. It counts. It’s considered part of the Chicago metropolitan area.
Boring. Typical Bulls move.
3 years $19 million is a great deal for my boy Jevon Carter!!!
Boring
Your responses are boring, assuming you in general as well
Solid signing. Carter will have a role and be a positive signing when all said and done
I suspect they will do a tag team with either Coby or possibly re sign Beverley vet min. For 9 mil they can get some beef, but not Prime beef. But they can trade DeRozan to Nix for Randle and a pick.
Maybe this prefaces a Caruso trade
