bmags Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's almost as if Butler was posturing to make sure he got best deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they're not backloaded everyone knows its coming so these teams won't be nearly as hammered by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 11:02 AM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Balta1701 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) Can Bulls compete with that? I dont know. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 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.
