Summary

The Bulls have a very complicated decision with the renegotiation and extension of Zach LaVine, plus the need to upgrade at point guard. Charlotte has no centers under contract and $20 million in cap space, but also looming extensions of its own in future years. Then we run back our Suns season outlook with ESPN’s Michael Schwartz. How did our expectations and predictions stack up for the team that is now in the NBA Finals?

firmly in the dunked on crosshairs Mr. Luru there financial situation, please

0:10.2

Well, so the bulls are are in this fascinating

0:13.4

Situation because they theoretically could function as an over the cap team or an under the cap team

0:19.3

The benefit of being over the cap is it would allow them to retain their partially guaranteed players retain their pending for

0:25.4

Regents and all that and that would be totally fine, but the problem with that is that one of the things this front office may want to do

0:32.4

Should he be willing to is renegotiate and extend Zachovene and the reason why you want to renegotiate and extend Zachovene is because of his
