2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"
(08-06-2021, 02:28 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: 2) Fair. Though a hypothetical: If we do pivot to an under the cap scenario like Dan pointed out and Lauri is willing to accept 9.5M a year, then wouldn't a 2+1 deal be legal since we're signing him with capspace? This is under the guise that the Bulls won't match anything. Given his RFA I think a trade is all but certain.

DS idea was a trade, not a cap room signing.

There's no way to signing LM outright using cap space with an offer starting at more than about $6M, and he's RFA so CHI can simply match. The same would apply if you pivoted and used MLE to sign him starting at about $9.5M - CHI can just match.

The only way to avoid a match is to do a trade with CHI. That requires 3 years or more on the contract. Option years don't count.
