Don't see that on their twitter

 

Score update just reported it. I didnt look, just posted it

It's almost as if Butler was posturing to make sure he got best deal.

Version I saw a couple moments ago had Butler pushing for the final year to be a player option so that he could hit FA after 4 years.

These contracts are insane. Back loaded with cap jump coming?

Even if they're not backloaded everyone knows its coming so these teams won't be nearly as hammered by it.

All a pipe dream unless Rose decides to play for less that what he's making now and/or he is no longer in Chicago, although I do agree they should be shooting for that spending flexibility in case Davis is open to coming here. Random PG Butler McDermott Mirotic Davis I could live with that.

Jimmy to the Bulls. 5 years/95 million.

Good for Jimmy. The problem with those shorter deals is you make yourself vulnerable to trades if they don't think they can sign you again. And you can end up in a poor fit.

Kevin Love will accept a five-year, $110 million contract extension with the Cavs according to sources

Damn it.

I really don't see how that doesn't end the East for anyone else.

Wow, I'm surprised Love wanted back in for the long haul.

With his injury history, even though some of them are freak injuries like last year's....get yourself the 9 figures.

I think it was windhorst who was speculating that he might have wanted to take a longer term deal because of health concerns (mainly his back). Clearly all speculation though.

Wow, I'm surprised Love wanted back in for the long haul.

 

He'd leave a ton of money on the table by doing anything else. It is hard to say no to that. At worst, he could force a trade later.

DAT MEETING WITH LEBRON

 

DAT MEETING WITH LEBRON

 

I bet LeBron agreed to let him in on some secret handshakes so that he can "fit in".

Obvious Bron, Love, Kyrie is the new big 3 for years to come, all just gonna opt out to get more money in the long run.

 

Can Bulls compete with that? I dont know.

Nah they had their shot this season when Love went down and Kyrie was hobbled.... I mean the best they can hope for is injuries again, since many are injury prone.

 

Unless Hoiberg is a wizard or something

Not without big break.

My response continues to be a simple question.

 

Can Derrick Rose get back to his 2010/2011 level or is he the player we saw last year?

 

If Rose is an MVP-candidate and up there with the best PGs in the league, worth his contract, the Bulls are right there. If Rose is not, then they're simply outgunned and they don't have the cap space to fix that problem because they're paying Rose so much.

Jimmy Butler needs a movie to be made about him someday. He's gone from homeless as a teenager to an NBA All-Star. Now he's getting paid $95 million. Great rags to riches story.

Thompson rumored to be getting a 5 year $80 million deal from the Cavs.

 

Cavs are gonna pay their 2 power forwards nearly $40 million next year. That's almost 2/3 of the cap.

Tyson chandler to suns. They're bringing him in to talk to Aldridge too. Stacked team if they land LMA. Big if.

 

Draymond Green broken off talks with the Warriors. Can't wait for a bad team to stay bad and max him.

 

 

Cavs just entered cap hell. But they're gonna be soooo good.

 

Though if Derrick takes well to Hoiberg, minutes are managed better and Niko, Snell and McDermott all improve there's no reason the Bulls can't compete.
