The Bulls want to enhance their interior defense and believe Robinson could be a good fit slotted alongside offense-minded center Nikola Vucevic. Chicago reportedly has $49 million in cap space, but that’s before they commit to their own free agent, Zach LaVine — if they commit.
Where the hell they got that number from?!
they're referring to the luxury tax line, which is exactly $149 mil. and they don't mention the cost of the first round pick
27.3 DDR (wing)
22.0 vuc (big)
19.5 lonzo (PG)
9.0 alex (guard)
7.8 pat (wing)
7.4 coby (guard)
3.1 first rounder
2.0 bradley (player option big)
1.8 green (wing)
1.6 ayo (guard)
1.6 simonovic (big)
that's 103.1 w/o lavine, who is eligible for up to 36.6 in year 1. maxing him out would leave
9.3 mil, which would presumably be used on a big man. the MLE is $10.3, which could be used, but would have the bulls tentatively in the tax unless bradley opts out
