So the BR-article is spot on.
This is really getting old 21. You're confusing a CBS article with the BR article I referenced in my original post.
I described "widely reported" as various sites playing off of a linked BLEACHER REPORT story by A. Sherrod Blakely on 4/14 where he quotes "Rival Executives" and says LaVine "will likely let his deal lapse, become an unrestricted free agent and sign what will be a more lucrative multiyear max pact". Other outlets jumped on that as a reason to write there own article including the one StrandedOnBeauboisHill posted. As I indicated in my response to Stranded, there is ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of using cap room to renegotiate and extend in the BR-ARTICLE. So, wrong on count number one. I'm sorry you were in such a hurry to write your gotcha post that you missed this when you wrote:

He covered all angles. You just don´t like that it doesn´t comfirm your own opinion. The Bulls can only offer him a large max extension, if he makes an All-NBA team or they waive Markkanen, Satoransky and Young
Problem number two: Your use of the word ONLY and the two possibilities you site are incomplete. Chicago DOES NOT HAVE TO "waive Markkanen, Satoransky and Young" to raise LaVine's salary from $19.5mm to $33.7mm, nor does he have to make an all-NBA team. They are within $2 million of having the cap room they need by simply moving on from Markkanen. I posted a nice article that lays this all out for you. It just so happens that a JRich for Young swap solves the issue and allows Satoransky to be retained.
