2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[DanSchwartzgan]

That is exactly what the person in the BR article wrote. They need to raise Lavine´s 2021/2022 salary from 19.5M to 33.7M,  

So the BR-article is spot on.  

This is really getting old 21.  You're confusing a CBS article with the BR article I referenced in my original post.   

I described "widely reported" as various sites playing off of a linked BLEACHER REPORT story by A. Sherrod Blakely on 4/14 where he quotes "Rival Executives" and says LaVine "will likely let his deal lapse, become an unrestricted free agent and sign what will be a more lucrative multiyear max pact".  Other outlets jumped on that as a reason to write there own article including the one StrandedOnBeauboisHill posted.  As I indicated in my response to Stranded, there is ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of using cap room to renegotiate and extend in the BR-ARTICLE.  So, wrong on count number one.  I'm sorry you were in such a hurry to write your gotcha post that you missed this when you wrote:

He covered all angles. You just don´t like that it doesn´t comfirm your own opinion. The Bulls can only offer him a large max extension, if he makes an All-NBA team or they waive Markkanen, Satoransky and Young

 
Problem number two:  Your use of the word ONLY and the two possibilities you site are incomplete.  Chicago DOES NOT HAVE TO "waive Markkanen, Satoransky and Young" to raise LaVine's salary from $19.5mm to $33.7mm, nor does he have to make an all-NBA team.  They are within $2 million of having the cap room they need by simply moving on from Markkanen.  I posted a nice article that lays this all out for you.  It just so happens that a JRich for Young swap solves the issue and allows Satoransky to be retained.
