I mean there can't really be anything except the full max. If it's only part of the max, it's not the max.

Technically there are multiple maxes depending on years of service. And for the first max, being all NBA, MVP, or multiple all star can change it with the DPE (Designated Player Exception). So Towns can theoretically make a 30% max instead of a 25% max like Wiggins.

There are only two maxes for guys like Wiggins, LaVine and Towns. 25% or 30%.

He will probably ask for the full max, but knowing Chicago management they will probably balk at that and try to talk him down to like 17-20% which is what I believe Butler signed. So it'll be who makes who cave in first. If I'm LaVine, I bet on myself. Someone would probably pay him that money. Then it'll be up to Chicago to match it or be down one major asset from the Butler trade.

Chicago fans have really turned on LaVine the past few games. His scoring has been shoddy to say the least, but it looks like his biggest concerns are still defense and moving off ball...

As far as a contract, LaVine play to close out the season will determine what he gets. I don't think the Bulls offer him the max regardless, but I think LaVine could maybe win that contract if he puts up good numbers on the offensive end. We'll see.

Agree with this POV. I think someone in this summers market will give him this deal. sg is kind of dry and Zach is a pretty dynamic scorer. Will be up to Chicago to match.

There are multiple maxes, but there will be only one max contract Zach can sign.

Butler signed for the max.

Zach is an RFA. Somebody will max him, Chicago will match.

To be fair, he's probably watched less than 10 Lavine games so it's not like he's seen it a million times like the rest of us.

How many Ucla games did you go to when Zach was there? Cause I went to a bunch.

To be fair you’re probably not American.

That defense was brilliant. He always get's better on the second half of the season.

I feel like thats because the coaches realize he's not effective without the ball and give it to him in the 2nd half of the season
