salary is ,which would be a 120% raise. However, that would
only be 105 million for 4 years, well below his market value.
He can make more money as a FA

The Bulls are hoping that the moves they have made will
push Lavine to accept the max extension, basically, giving
the Bulls a discount.

He already stated he is not accepting a max extension. He wants
to be paid, and playing along side Durant at the Olympics, where
they have built up a friendship, will make contract talks even more
complicated.

I predict he will walk, unless the Bulls offer him a contract at 30%
of the salary cap when he becomes a FA....and I don’t see the Bulls
doing that.

Also, if he makes an All NBA team, then he would become eligible for
a supermax deal.
