Bobby Portis is a self-made man. The Milwaukee Bucks forward has carved a role for himself in the Bucks rotation. And now is an important part of a team that is title contenders. Bobby was a free agent this offseason after opting out of his player contract. He then again signed with the Milwaukee Bucks. His new deal is for four years and is worth up to $49 million dollars. But Milwaukee is not Bobby’s first home in the NBA.
Chicago Bulls selected Bobby as the 22nd overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. He played three and a half seasons for the Bulls before being traded to the Washington Wizards in a near deadline day trade. During that summer when he was a free agent, Portis signed with the New York Knicks for a two-year deal. But the team chose not to exercise the team option for the second year.
