The easiest way to take a discount and maintain your leverage to demand team improvements is to play out the final year of his current contract. Once he signs the (discount) extension what incentive do the notoriously cheap Bulls have to keep their word? Regardless of whether he takes a 10% discount or not, an early max extension will eat significantly into their available cap, so it´s counterproductive to his own demands of improving the team. To me this sounds more like him already setting the stage for his exit strategy: I told you. This is all you got me. I want out NOW.
I understand you really want Lavine. I really want Lavine too.
CHI isn't trading Lavine. Lavine isn't forcing his way out... at least not yet. It won't be this summer but next summer if anything for Lavine to move.
Maybe CHI really likes Porzingis...?
