From Jared Schwartz:
Guerschon Yabusele’s failed Knicks tenure is over.
They are trading him to the Bulls in exchange for Dalen Terry, according to ESPN, ahead of Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline.
It does not come as a surprise, as The Post previously reported the Knicks were actively looking to trade the struggling Yabusele.
Yabusele signed a two-year deal worth roughly $12 million, which included a player option for next year, this past offseason. There was a possibility the Knicks would have had to attach draft compensation to a deal to get a team to take on his contract — that they didn’t have to is a plus.
Besides getting off of his contract for next season, what’s the upside here? Does this free up any cap space to make moves this season? Or was this all just to get off of his money next season?
I don’t know that I think “Great job! They didn’t have to add picks to get rid of the guy that they JUST signed!” is that compelling of an argument, but if it opens up stuff for another move this season, I’ll be more impressed.
