Solidifies the team as a topping out as a 2nd round exit with everyone healthy. Eh...at least AKME positioned everyone to basically be off the books in a couple years.

It’s really disappointing. I was hoping with AKME in charge, they would have the leeway to do what they wanted, tax be damned. Now maybe they tried and just nothing came to that made sense as far as offers available to them, but man it sure smells of owner influence

It’s totally owner influence. They can only operate within the parameters set forth by Jerry and Michael. Michael may be more hands on, but I’m willing to bet Jerry still has final authority on spending/lux tax

I like Drummond but if him and re-signing DJJ is our off season then oof. The cheapness is glaringly obvious and will for sure be fodder for NBA writers/commentators. Furthermore it would be unfair to kneecap your still brand new front office like this.

I think the hesitation of players to still buy in that the bulls have the pieces to make a run is still giving us premium at the pump numbers. So I'm not sure it's necessarily sure it's cheapness as much as willingness to overpay. We just saw them give Zach the biggest contract in franchise history

Meanwhile the TWolves just shelled out a supermax for Towns and then went and acquired Gobert's contract. Question the fit all you like, but you can't question that owner's willingness to spend at least

The cap went up so the max contract went up with it. It’s not some stunning thing giving lavine the biggest contract in franchise history lol.

It's stunning when they have never done nothing than 100M. That has nothing to do with the cap. They more than doubled then next highest. They have never reeled in any free agent previously waving around those dollars.

It has everything to do with the cap. The cap has doubled over the last 7 years. So the top salaries have doubled. You even have the super max contracts out there now.

Bulls off-season: Re-signed Zach and DJJ, signed Drummond and Dragic. Uggh….was hoping for a bit more. Best guess as of now is 45 wins and a 1st round exit

Might as well predict another gentleman's sweep to any of the top 4 teams in the East. Reinsdorf strikes again!

Any hope for Marko? He's still young but I've already all but forgot about him.

Marko Simonovic hopes to earn a Chicago Bulls rotation spot after bulking up in the offseason: ‘I’m ready to work’
There was a consensus throughout the first four days of Chicago Bulls summer league — Marko Simonovic bulked up in the offseason. Simonovic’s growth earned him immediate praise from sum…

My expectations remain low for him. It's good he bulked up a bit and we could really use him at backup PF plus he can stretch the floor, but I won't expect it after just one season in the GLeague.Any hope for Marko? He's still young but I've already all but forgot about him.

Sources: Jazz change tune, listening on Mitchell
The Jazz are now showing a willingness to listen to trade offers for All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Utah's asking price appears to be steep after dealing Rudy Gobert for a bundle of assets.

Wonder how out there the asking price is

Knowing Danny ainge, probably 5 unprotected 1st rounders and a young player on the cusp of an all-star breakout yearSources: Jazz change tune, listening on Mitchell

Before the offseason I'd have assumed Mitchell could get a better return than gobert. That should be hard to do now
