Entering the offseason, the Bulls’ goals were big-man depth, providing point guard competition for Dunn and wing shooting. Young, second-round pick Daniel Gafford and Luke Kornet, who has verbally agreed to a deal that’s not official yet, fill the big-man depth. Satoransky, White and Arcidiacono create the point guard competition.
KC Johnson: Bulls indeed have verbal commitment from Luke Kornet. But it’s not yet clear if he’ll slide into room exception. They may be working to find another way to create more cap space.
Chris Haynes: New York Knicks will also not extend a qualifying offer to Luke Kornet and he will hit unrestricted free agency, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Knicks coach David Fizdale made a promise to Hezonja in January that in their last game in Orlando in April, no matter what the situation, he would start him. That’s the kind of coach Fizdale is. With five games left, the start guarantee has disrupted Fizdale’s new experimental arrangement of having the double-tower starting tandem of Luke Kornet and Mitchell Robinson. Hezonja will occupy power forward while Kornet occupies a seat.
