My memory is that the Bulls offered Pip a three year max deal (after the new CBA was in place).
Houston offered a 5 year max deal.
Because the raises are greater when you sign with your current team, the Bulls offer was initially at a higher per season value, but the value of Houston's offer, since it was for 5 years, was considerably higher overall.
So, Pip said that if the Bulls didn't sign and trade him, he would simply sign with Houston.
So, JK signed and traded Pip for CBA balancing bodies, one year of Jeff Sanders, and a second round pick that became Jake Voskuhl.
Since Pip really only had three good years left in him, I'd say that JK did the right thing with the 3 year offer.
