I haven't seen renegotiation a lot so I can't really speak to that. I am sure the Bulls will offer an extension that they'd love LaVine to sign but like most max players in his position I imagine we will see him decline it and head into the season as a UFA. What typically happens then is the team decides whether or not to trade the player or try to keep them. LaVine also could ask for a trade.
I just think the timing isn't good because the Mavs will need to make moves this summer. Their shot at LaVine would be next summer if he reaches UFA which happens less and less for max players these days.
Mavs leverage in this situation would be if they were like ya Duffy we will offer up KP + other assets for LaVine, Vuc if you get him to ask for a trade with Dallas on the short-list.
That would create a Duffy big 3 in Dallas which would be like the worst defensive team in the league lol.
