The Derrick Rose Exception

[toguro61]

Among the specifics of the new provisional CBA is an interesting exception:

"Maximum salary: A player finishing his rookie scale contract will be eligible to receive a maximum salary equal to 30 percent of the salary cap if he signs with his prior team and meets certain performance benchmarks: first, second or third team All-NBA two times; an All-Star starter two times; or a one-time MVP."

Does anyone else apply to this provision?
What does this mean for the Bulls future spending?

I therefore christen this the "Derrick Rose Exception"

True that. Rose isn't the first, but going off last season, this would only apply to Rose.

Hope he stays humble so he can keep a decent lineup around him.

Rose is gonna get his green, no doubt. Whether or not it's max, IDK...but man, he could get it wherever he wanted it if the Bulls didn't offer it.

Keen insight into the obvious there, champ.

Rose will get his payday. I would be shocked if it wasn't with the Bulls. He's marketing gold. "Hometown hero leads Bulls to 8-peat".
