Well, we have much to discuss here starting with the course Jabari Parker going to the Chicago Bulls from the box

And we also got to get into the beginning of our summer league scouting. I was like wow

Why did we do this in like four different parts last year?

And then I tried to do the first one and it took like five hours just to do five teams. So oh yeah, now I remember why

So we're gonna get to some of the teams at the top of the alphabet see how long those take us

But first let's start with the news really of the last three or four days Jabari Parker

Ballihood number two overall pick in 2014 is now a Chicago Bull two year

$40 million contract second year team option that only became possible after the box actually agreed to

rescind the

Qualifying offer to Jabari because otherwise an offer sheet has to be at least two guaranteed years

I'm sorry it doesn't need to be two guaranteed years it must be two years

Exclusive of options they could have had a non guaranteed year on the second year

But I think both parties preferred the team option and I think we could talk about this from the Bulls perspective

Momentarily, but first let's just talk about this from the books

Perspective Dan Feldman had this that it really is nearly unprecedented for a player to just leave

Infraagency when he was picked that high of course the two ACL tears for Jabari and

The emergence of Yannis a player at his same position did exacerbate the situation and perhaps a led to him leaving

Yeah, and I mean so there are unusual factors in play in this circumstance

But generally, and I think this was something that Dan got at in his pieces that when this writing is on the wall

Usually the team figures out a way to get some compensation one example there was well

The contract was a little bit nebulous actually found one of my old pieces talking about it too that Derek Williams

Who was the number two pick who flamed out was traded for Luke Kishart and Bamutay much earlier in his career
