He's 26 entering his prime so I doubt he wants to waste it on a Bulls team that's going nowhere. Anyways I'd be surprised if he did an extension. If I am him I'd want to keep my options open.
There it is again...”if I’m him” and “I doubt he wants to waste it”. Not meaning to be snarky, but you’ve got experience putting $189mm at risk to get to a different town/company? Obviously not. There are only so many humans who have. Yet, we (collective we) feel very comfortable saying what someone in that position should do.
If he can force a trade, why not max out financially first and then force the trade?
