Will the Chicago Bulls lineup have less “hot sauce” and more sour cream next season? It was expected that sharpshooter Kyle Korver would be dealt out of Chicago this year.
Pending a physical, the Bulls traded two guard Kyle Korver to the Atlanta Hawks Friday, according to the Chicago Tribune’s K.C. Johnson.
The Trib scribe reports that the trade “is via Minnesota into Atlanta’s traded player exception” meaning the Bulls will receive a second-round pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
On Sunday the Bulls have a decision on whether or not to pick up the $5 million option on his deal. Or they could pay half a million to buy him out. This trade will save them the buyout money. The Hawks recently cleared out a ton of cap space, and will be looking to add personnel.

A Change Of Heart, Maybe
This was brought to my attention earlier today. It is a possibility that the Chicago Bulls could make a huge splash in free agency within the coming days. The Bulls have said to be targeting UFA O.J. Mayo. With that news I became very happy at that moment. If that is the case, it seems like the Bulls may not match the offer sheet for Omer Asik, reported roughly of 3 yrs/25 million...
