He is going to want the super max, no doubt about it. He wants to
get paid, and he isn’t interested in giving any discounts.

Plus Coby White’s offensive ascension adds another property to the
equation. He is a SG, who shoots 40 percent from 3 and can get to the
cup. He has a straight scorer’s mentality.

So, White has the potential to provide similar numbers as Lavine,
but at a cheaper price. He is still on his rookie contract.

White’s value has increased significantly, so the Bulls can either keep him
and let Lavine walk, or max Lavine and trade White... Also, Either decision will
be used to bring in a productive big.

That’s the decision that has to be made.
