It sounds like last night’s meeting went well, as early on day-2 of free agency Klutch Sports’s head of PR Shams Charania announced that Zach LaVine is staying in Chicago.
It’s for the full 5-year max LaVine was eligible for, over $215M, and the Bulls even put a little on top with making the 5th year a player option, so LaVine could potentially try free agency again when he’s 31.
This isn’t a surprise if the Bulls were normal, but I am pleasantly surprised the Bulls didn’t try and negotiate and delay. Plus we heard from Zach himself at the end of last season that he’d spend some time fielding offers and taking meetings.
