Dude opted out of 44 mil. You knew he was still going to get paid, but damn! Hope they win a chip out of this because otherwise that context for 40 year old CP is going to STING!

Feel like it was only a month ago where there was some chatter about CP3 opting out to sign a 3 year $60M deal or something

He's an impact player on D and covers up a lot of mistakes by others

but, he's also a liability on offense. You can't count on him to catch a lob or even a basic pass

i suspect i'll come around to it, but even if mitch signed for the same number you're talking 20+ from the center position collectively -- with limited offensive skills.

i suspect team chemistry and loyalty played into it, which is cool, but we do have some pressing priorities

Bill Simmons made a good point. Teams seem to instantly regret it when they sign these centers on multi-year deals. Also, they instantly set the market for Mitch next season.

i'll assume this is smart strategy, hedging bets. If Robinson returns, is a force, and stays healthy they can flip Noel. And if Robinson doesn't, then Noel is our starting center.

if we can add one of oubre and fornier at 3, and R. Jackson at pg we would still improve dramatically

Knicks failing out of the Playoffs as we speak.

Lonzo at $21 was the steal we needed at the position we needed.

Agree with the Simmons point above. Noel is a great defender, but one dimensional centers on $10MM deals over three is aggressive.

and still with no title

I know you might have heard otherwise, but money does buy happiness.

At this point I rather just save as much as our cap space as possible and head into 2022's offseason fully loaded x2.

Somehow the Bulls don't strike me as a well run franchise. Everyone has their opinion but by midseason we'll see if the Bulls improved via FA (the way Atl did this year) or if they're still a mess

imagine Lauri is now out.

Lonzo and Derozan is a good haul. Hard to think that team doesn’t move above us right now.

We need a starting PG and a starting SF before we can say we improved.
