Baby Bulls

What about the two Chicago free agents, the Baby Bulls?

Da Bulls sign Chandler. I'm happy they kept him for ~64 million over
6 years. However, an incentives laden contract is a mistake. He's
too young and will pout when he doesn't start or get 'enough' playing
time to earn his incentives. Chandler is a guy who has grown up with
so much unearned attention and privilege that playing for incentives
will distract him from team basketball. I hope I am wrong.

Da Bulls haven't signed Curry – yet. IMHO Curry has a heart condition
and he doesn't want to hear or know about it. He is unprepared for a
life outside the NBA. I am betting that Curry's rosy take on his
health isn't going to allow him to accept the Bulls are offer. He is
going to take the 5.3 million qualifying offer and try for a big,
guaranteed contract next season.
