2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[Kammrath]

Right now it's just a waiting game to see who blinks first.

All three parties are in a strong position and yet all are beholden to each other.

• LM has leverage because he can sign the QO, but he doesn't really want to get stuck on a one year deal in CHI.
  
• DAL has leverage because CHI could lose LM for nothing, but if they don't bid high enough this could be their only shot at LM.
  
• CHI has leverage because there is no one who can pay LM a lot of money, but if their asking price is too high they will lose this asset for absolutely nothing.
  

I am confident in Nico here. He has already earned my trust as a deal maker.
