Zach Lavine: Offered 4/80 from Kings update p26 Bulls Matched

The contract is 4 years 78M. That's 19.5M a year which is not bad at all. I believe it's front loaded which means he will be making 21.4M this year. It works out well for us. Specially with 45M available in CAP space next season.

Do we boo zach? Boo garpax? Boo reinsdorfs? Give up on this hopeless endeavor and become celtics fans?

Or just do what most of us will and force unwarranted optimism for zachs "upside".

IMHO, the Bulls could get a better player than Zach Lavine next year for $20M in capspace.

Such a Kings move by the Bull. Severely over paying for a player who is not a difference maker.

Can someone outline our capspace next summer. If $45M is the number then you have room for 1 MAX and another solid guy (if anyone comes).

Why people keep thinking Chicago is a FA destination ?
Gasol, Wade, Wallace, etc All past their primes and that is all Chicago is getting next year too, we will probably end with D. Howard or Melo.
Let young talent walk away for nothing is just a very dumb thing to do for a rebuilding team.

Yes, yes, yes

Can you guys relax, the Bulls could use this as trade bait with a future team down the road.

probably more benefit to mending any hurt feelings with lavine than making the kings wait

i would assume we don't have to officially match for 48 hours still. maybe try to wrangle a trade to use some cap room

Ah. I got the impression from Shams’ tweet that we planned on filing the paperwork immediately. Woj has since cleared that up.

One max plus 8-9M leftover. As opposed to 2 maxes (hi Jimmy and kyrie. Bye Jimmy and kyrie)

Why does this feel like signing Ron Mercer in 2000 all over again?

Cool, maybe they'll get a trade exception. Or a future 2nd round pick.

Match? 4 yrs 78 mil
