While making the best season of his young career, Bobby Portis has obviously made his managers want to offer him a contract extension this summer.
Franchises will have significantly less money to spend this summer than in the previous two seasons. They will have to make choices and think carefully about their investments. The Chicago Bulls have already begun this reflection. They are refining their strategy. And according to NBC Sports, they would like to keep some of their savings for the young Bobby Portis. The 23-year-old can be extended this summer as his rookie contract expires in 2019.
It must be said that the interior achieves the best season of his career. And it runs at 13.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 47% shooting and 35% three-pointers in just 21 minutes. Also, it is obvious that he has the qualities to play more and contribute more to this team in reconstruction.
The Bulls do not want to let it go. The incident of the beginning of the season seems very far. Bobby Portis has suspended eight games after hitting Nikola Mirotic in the face. But he has been very successful in his role since.
