So perhaps a minor compensation for not matching makes everyone happy and you don't need to wait 5 days for the results to come in. I would be affraid more competition would come from a third team. There might be someone who would see him as a longterm cornerstone and offer a contract accordingly. San Antonio is rumored here. Although I think SA would offer him no more than White and Murray got. Something in the up to 65 mil range. I am not sure New York, Charlotte or OKC would have him at the top of their lists.That’s kind of what I was thinking. Chicago isn’t going to keep him. I think they’d be perfectly happy to facilitate a sign and trade for some small asset.
