Woj: Tomas Satoransky, Bulls Agree to 3-Year, $30M Contract in Wizards Trade

Restricted free-agent guard Tomas Satoransky has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, who will complete a sign-and-trade with the Washington Wizards, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Monday.

Wojnarowski noted the financial details and added: "Washington gets some pick value in sign-and-trade: Chicago eliminates protections on 2023 second-round pick to Washington; Wizards get better of Memphis and Chicago's 2020 second-round pick; Wiz get right to swap Lakers 2022 second w/ better of Chi/Det. 2022 seconds."

In the wake of the move, the Bulls are looking for a trade parter to take on point guard Kris Dunn, per Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated.

Satoransky saw the most significant action of his three-year NBA career last season as the Wizards' fill-in starter at point guard after John Wall was lost for the season.

In 80 games, including 54 starts, Satoransky averaged 8.9 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steal while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Tomas Satoransky with the Hammer

The 27-year-old Satoransky was a second-round pick by the Wizards in 2012, but it wasn't until 2016 that the Czech Republic native made the leap from European basketball to the NBA.

He played somewhat sparingly as a rookie before appearing in 73 games and making 30 starts in 2017-18, and he averaged 7.2 points, 3.9 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game that season and was highly efficient (52.3 percent from the field, 46.5 percent from three).

The Wizards entered this offseason with a big decision to make on Satoransky considering the fact that Wall could miss the entire 2019-20 season because of an Achilles injury.

Aside from Satoransky, the Wizards had few options to take over for Wall last season. Satoransky was more of a shooting guard or combo guard prior to last season, but with Wall on the shelf, he served almost entirely as the point guard and primary ball-handler.

That was a necessary move by Wizards head coach Scott Brooks since shooting guard Bradley Beal is at his best as an off-the-ball player who can knock down shots.

The Wiz likely plan on further addressing the point guard position in free agency.

Satoransky may still be best off as a combo guard who can fill multiple roles in the backcourt, but he increased his value by running the point last season.
