NBA Free Agency starts today, thankfully not at midnight eastern (who can forget the opening-minute Cristiano Felicio extension) but a more palatable 5pm central time.
The Bulls are in a spot that you could call ‘flexible’ but is also somewhat constricting and reliant on outside factors to get what they want. I had previously thought that the deadline to fully guarantee Thad Young and Tomas Satoransky’s contracts had passed yesterday, but it apparently goes right up to the free agency period.
This matters because those contracts when fully guaranteed ($14M for Young, $10M for Sato) functionally takes the Bulls out of being a team with useable cap space this offseason.
