Chicago Bulls: Grading every free agent signing thus far
4. player. 24. . Guard. Former Team: Washington Wizards. Tomas Satoransky
A massive sign-and-trade that the Chicago Bulls were able to pull off to add depth in the backcourt rotation involved the former Washington Wizards 6-foot-7 guard Tomas Satoransky. The Bulls get a nice combination of length and offensive versatility for Satoransky to help this rotation space the floor.
What Satoransky brings to the table for the Bulls is a more than capable shooter, especially from three-point range, and an all-around efficient floor general. Last season, Satoransky posted a 121 offensive rating and a 116 defensive rating with the Wizards. He also shoots exactly 40 percent from beyond the arc in his career.
If there was ever a near perfect sign-and-trade deal for the Bulls to pull off this summer, it was nabbing Satoransky from the Wizards for just $10 million per year on average for three seasons. Most anticipated Satoransky would command at least $15 million if he were to hit the open market this offseason.
Chicago has reached agreement on a sign-and-trade with Washington for guard Tomas Satoransky, league sources tell ESPN. Bulls are signing Satoransky to a three-year deal, league sources tell ESPN.

All of a sudden, the Bulls have a rotation full of capable outside shooters. Chicago Bulls head coach Jim Boylen has plenty of resources to work with to make his schemes work on both ends of the floor. Satoransky can fit into a combo guard role and help space the floor and effectively distribute the ball for this offense that should vastly improve this coming season.
