In that case, I can see them doing Paul and GP for Lavine. Bulls waive Paul to clear out salary, keep GP for half the year and try to trade him at the deadline to a contender

No way they would have started FA without a coach. Don’t hate it. Shouldn’t have been fired by Cavs.
This is actually a good signing for them
best thing they could've done tbh
didn't think JB would come back to coaching so fast though

Go Cavs! #LetEmKnow
Perfect fit for a bad/rebuilding team.
I know he’s not perfect but Detroit would be foolish for passing on the spacing that Lavine can provide
The nba is a dumb league
Throw in multiple unprotected sweeteners and other teams will start listening.
A Lavine trade benefits the Bulls more than any other team based on his bad knees.
An uninspiring hire. They should have went young with a coach that could develop along with the roster. This reeks of Detroit going the cheap route since Cleveland will still likely be paying the bulk of his contract.
JB is good enough to help develop players, but anything more than that they’ll need a new coach.
I swear the nba would bankrupt itself if it could.is he even that tho
Patrick Williams doesn’t help teams win, puts fans in stands or make people Turn on tv to watch basketball.
The nfl and mlb pay people that actually matter and let the ones that don’t make money that isn’t stupid
If the nba was smart( it’s not) they would collude to depress salaries of the players that don’t generate interest. Give williams 2yr/20 mill deal to prove his worth to league then if he makes an impact, pay him
Doesn’t work because there’s a max salary number so you have to pay certain players to reach the salary floor.
the main issue is years - on both parties here
players taking up a certain percentage of the cap to maintain the floor? cool.
if you're the bulls, why commit 5 years to that block of spending for a guy who's made essentially no progress. teams sign bloated 1+1 deals all the time to maintain the salary floor. typically for established guys on top of that.
if you're the player, 5 years basically says you're comfortable and you've no plans of ever betting on yourself. dude was a top 5 pick and he's running from his own money.

JB only 45
Cavs went as far in playoffs as they should have. If anything they overachieved considering the injuries they had all year
