Players must be bought out by 11:59 p.m. Friday night in order to be playoff eligible. With the clock ticking, the Bulls are doing everything in their power to not buyout Robin Lopez and keep him away from the defending champions. This is disappointing news for the Warriors.
The Bulls, meanwhile, have been adamant they won't buy out Robin Lopez … apparently determined to keep him away from the Warriors. Doesn't look at all like something will change in the next 12 hours; RoLo would not be playoff-eligible unless he is bough out by 11:59 PM tonight
With the playoff eligibility deadline tonight, it will be interesting to see what the Bulls will exactly do with Lopez.
