Nikola Mirotic

After rumors of a deal and the deal reportedly falling through at one point, the New Orleans Pelicans have acquired Nikola Mirotic in a trade with the Chicago Bulls. [tweet https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/959128268464119808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] The pick is top five protected this season, which means unless the Pelicans miss the playoffs again and land in the top three, the [...]

The Pelicans injury issues have crept up yet again as DeMarcus Cousins season ended last Friday night with a torn Achilles. They are still currently sitting in the No. 7 spot in the western conference at the moment though at 27-23 (0-2 since Cousins went down), and they are still fully committed to making it [...]

Anyone who’s anyone expects the Chicago Bulls to trade Nikola Mirotic before the NBA’s Feb. 8 deadline. Except, here’s the thing: What if they don’t? What if their asking price is too high? Cost may, in fact, be an issue for any suitors looking to strike deal, because the Bulls are demanding a first-round pick [...]

Nikola Mirotic doesn’t seem like he’ll be a member of the Chicago Bulls much longer. ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier this week that two sides are still fixing for a divorce, and that the 26-year-old forward held the Utah Jazz in special regard. Well, the Jazz apparently feel the same way. They’ve spoken to the [...]

In a report that shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, the Bulls are planning to move Nikola Mirotic before the trade deadline. Mirotic has requested a trade all season, and even though the Bulls have played pretty good since his return, there is still reportedly tension behind the scenes between him and Bobby Portis after [...]

Nikola Mirotic is ruining the Chicago Bulls’ tank job, and they appear to know it. Since making his debut after suffering facial fractures and a concussion during a dustup with teammate Bobby Portis, the 26-year-old forward is averaging 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds on 50.4 percent shooting, including a 47.5 percent clip from downtown. The [...]

Nikola Mirotic is wrapping up his recovery from facial fractures and a concussion he suffered prior to the start of the season during an altercation with Chicago Bulls teammate Bobby Portis. And, by his own words, he isn’t angry at anyone—not anymore. All is well in Chicago. Except, not totally. From the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnson: [...]

Nikola Mirotic already isn’t happy that Bobby Portis is playing while he himself recovers from injuries sustained during a physical altercation between the two. And now he has another reason to wear an indefinite frowny face: Rookie Lauri Markkanen has the Chicago Bulls’ starting power forward spot on lock—so much so that Mirotic’s return won’t force [...]

Nikola Mirotic is back with the Chicago Bulls in some capacity. But that doesn’t mean he’s buried the hatchet with Bobby Portis. K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune brought word on Monday that Mirotic, who suffered facial fractures and a concussion after a physical altercation with Portis, is back hanging around with the team: [tweet https://twitter.com/KCJHoop/status/930116907264602114] [...]

Bobby Portis’ eight-game suspension from the Chicago Bulls wasn’t enough. Not for Nikola Mirotic. The team suspended Portis after a physical altercation with Mirotic that left the latter with a concussion and facial fracture. He is still weeks away from a return, but Portis made his season debut with the Bulls on Tuesday night in [...]
