So the Bulls offseason is Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig … two players that would be great finishing pieces to a team that was knocking on the Larry O’Brien Trophy Room.
But for this group … pic.twitter.com/WHRqfZOhc62:04 PM

Confirmed Torrey Craig has agreed to be a Bull. Another floor spacer who hit 39.5% from 3-point range last season. – 1:59 PM

A reminder the Suns own the bird rights to Torrey Craig and Bismack Biyombo still. Drew Eubanks makes it tougher to see Jock Landale coming back, but PHX could be negotiating deals for more than “expected” for Torrey and/or Biz for trade flexibility with those bird rights – 6:34 PM

More on this storyline

Gerald Bourguet: Including the non-guaranteed/partially guaranteed deals for Ish Wainright and Jordan Goodwin, the Suns are at 15 players. Likely means two-way deals for Toumani Camara and Saben Lee, and that Torrey Craig/Bismack Biyombo are gone unless someone (Isaiah Todd?) is waived -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / July 2, 2023
Torrey Craig has received interest from several teams on the market, including the Detroit Pistons and the Sacramento Kings, league sources told HoopsHype. The Nets also agreed to a one-year deal that’s worth $2.53 million with guard Dennis Smith Jr, league sources told HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / July 2, 2023
Regarding the upcoming 2023-24 season, the Suns are right at the $162 million luxury tax with just Durant, Beal, Booker, and Ayton. Their only means to increase their payroll beyond minimum salaries is with a $5 million trade exception they own and re-signing Torrey Craig, Jock Landale, Bismack Biyombo, and Darius Bazley. If they do not reduce payroll, it could exceed $190 million, with a luxury tax penalty in the $90 million range. -via HoopsHype / June 19, 2023
