Bobby Marks: Chicago has the ability to create $10.5-$11M in room to acquire Tomas Satoransky with room. The Bulls would need to waive Shaquille Harrison, Walt Lemon Jr. and renounce Ryan Arcidiacano to create additional flexibility.
Even while Arcidiacono has been a pleasant surprise, he’s still playing on a one-year contract, so his NBA career will be in limbo this summer. He said he’s not thinking about the future. “I try to take it day by day and go from there, but I think I’ve played well enough that something will happen,” Arcidiacono said. “But you’ve just got to stay humble and stay hungry and keep taking advantage of the last 12 games and take it one day at a time.”
Not surprisingly, Bulls coach Jim Boylen was emphatic when asked if Ryan Arcidiacono has proved himself to be an NBA player. He was a two-way player last season, spending most of his time with the Windy City Bulls. “Absolutely. Archie’s a winning player,” Boylen said. “He has improved. When he got here, he didn’t look at the rim. He’d get in the paint and he wouldn’t look at the rim. Everybody would pull back and he didn’t want to shoot it. He has learned how to finish.”
