Letting Lavine walk would give the Bulls some serious cap space to make
some major moves.

Bulls traded Jimmy Butler so they wouldn’t have to give him a Supermax
deal....who did they get in return?

Lavine, who was only known as a dunker at the time. His game evolved
over the years....White’s offensive game is already there, just needs
polishing and experience.

You see how that works? Keep or get a potentially equivalent player
who is younger and cheaper.
