My interest would be to try to help them out by sending fully expiring Johnson for partially guaranteed Young and getting back Carter Jr. for WCS in the process. It would probably take more than that (Green?). The idea would be to save them some money so they can either keep some of their other expiring guys and use the MLE or let the the expiring guys go and still have significant cap room even after renegotiating with LaVine.
Bulls have almost 40 mil of cap space next season. 20 if they keep Markkanen cap hold. I don't think they will resign OPJ. They don't really need any help with cap space.
