Who’s ready for some more Cam Payne?!?!?!
Well, even if you’re not you’ll be seeing a lot more of him (if he stays healthy) during the upcoming season because on Saturday night the Chicago Bulls agreed in principle to a three-team trade that also involves the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic.
The Bulls are going to trade point guard Jerian Grant to the Magic, while getting back shooting guard Julyan Stone.
Deal includes Bulls guard Jerian Grant to Magic, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/vxbM1kXKZy

As you can see in the Adrian Wojnarowski report, the other part of the deal has Timofey Mozgov going to Orlando and Bismack Biyombo going to Charlotte.
Grant started 54 times and played in 137 games in his two seasons with the Bulls. In 2017-18, he averaged 8.4 points, 4.6 assists and 2.3 rebounds, on 41.6 percent shooting overall and 32.6 percent from 3-point range.
Via K.C. Johnson.
In Stone, the Bulls get a look at a 6-foot-6 shooting guard who played 23 games and averaged 0.8 points for the Hornets last season. He has played in 70 career games, originally landing in the league with the Nuggets in 2011-12 after going undrafted out of UTEP. He was out of the NBA from 2014-17.
The Bulls save $1 million on the deal. Stone’s contract is non-guaranteed, meaning he could be waived.
So, get ready to watch more Payne in 2018-19, as Grant has been traded away.
UPDATE
The Bulls will waive Julyan Stone and his $1.65 million salary in the three-way trade with Charlotte and Orlando, according to sources. Jerian Grant to Orlando. Bismack Biyombo to Charlotte. Timofey Mozgov to Orlando as well.
