Carter-Williams has a $4.4 million qualifying offer that would make him a
restricted free agent, but the Bulls are apparently content to let the
25-year-old walk this offseason. Considering Carter-Williams’ struggles since
earning the Rookie of the Year award in 2013-14, the decision doesn’t come as
much of a surprise. Carter-Williams appeared in 45 games for Chicago last
season, averaging just 6.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting a
dreadful 36.6 percent from the field. Considering the Bulls brought in
second-year point guard Kris Dunn via trade on draft night and will want to get
a better look at Cameron Payne next season, Carter-Williams is more expendable
than ever.
