the Bulls have moved on to their next free agent target: restricted Hornets guard Marco Belinelli.
The first choice for Belinelli was Los Angeles but the Clippers had only a Bi-Annual exception to offer and the Hornets didn’t want to Ryan Gomes in a sign-and-trade, despite the fact that Chris Paul reportedly lobbied for the move to happen. Instead the Clippers signed Grant Hill, ending their pursuit of Belinelli.
Now Belinelli has to find the second best option for him and the Bulls are on a short list of teams that could offer him a deal.
In addition to the Bulls, the Knicks, Warriors and magic are all interested in adding the Italian guard. New York is the least likely to get Belinelli’s services as they’re about gassed when it comes to recruiting players and dealing with the salary cap. With the Jeremy Lin saga hitting it’s ugly end, the Knicks are going to try and see what they can accomplish with what they have.
