Would they match a one-year max? With a no-trade clause.

They'll match ANYTHING.

In fact, they're going to offer him a max qualifying offer. That means the only thing another team can offer starts at 3 years with no options.
 
So no trade? Please tell me were keeping rhj he's such a good fit

Okay, I thought the Bulls were thinking of letting him go, so much for that pipe dream.

I am actually caring less about the Bulls these days. I would love to see him on the Blazers, but he's really in a bad spot as far as leverage for this summer.

He'd be a fool to sign an offer sheet from any other team than the Bulls. I think he'd even make more money singing the regular QO and going UFA.
 
RHJ to the Nets for Alan Anderson? I hope that rumor is not true.

You don't know anything.
 
Hernangomez to NY.

The Knicks had my ideal draft day: Porzingis AND Hernangomez.

There’s a little known clause in the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is little known because, as best as can be ascertained, it has never been used. When a player coming off of a rookie scale contract is entering restricted free agency, his team can, in addition to the regular qualifying offer of an amount predetermined by the CBA and his draft spot, extend something called a Maximum Qualifying Offer.

A Maximum Qualifying Offer is, essentially, an offer of a maximum contract. It is not a contract – it is an offer. It is not binding on the player. It is not something the player has to accept, or that prevents him from signing contracts with other teams, be they in the NBA or elsewhere. But it is something that impacts upon their options afterwards.

In a Maximum Qualifying Offer, there can be no option years whatsoever, nor any bonuses, nor any wiggle room on the salary. A Maximum Qualifying Offer is an offer of the very maximum; the full five years, the full 7.5 percent raises, and a full 100 percent guarantee in each year. It is the most player-friendly contract a team can possibly offer. And that is why it has never been used.

If Chicago extends Butler a Maximum Qualifying Offer, nothing will ostensibly change. Butler will remain a free agent, he will remain a restricted free agent on account of the original one year qualifying offer he was extended, and he can still accept that QO. He can also accept the Maximum Qualifying Offer, or indeed sign another type of contract with his incumbent team or any other franchise. He does not even have to sign for the maximum, despite how illogical that might seem.

The only difference is the length of the offer sheet he can potentially sign with a new team. If Chicago offers a Maximum Qualifying Offer, an offer sheet with a new team has to have at least the first three years be optionless, as opposed to the first two.

In this specific example of Butler and the Bulls, that difference is a highly significant one. By extending a Maximum Qualifying Offer, the Bulls can ensure that Butler, if he still chooses to sign with another team, cannot hit the unrestricted free agent market until the summer of 2018, two years after the salary cap has begun the very huge increase he wants so badly to cash in on. Butler is thinking about his next payday, despite not having received the first one yet, because of the potential rewards it may yield. For the same reason, Chicago will not want him to. Using this clause, they can do something about that.
 
Is there any idea when the PC will be? I don't see it on the site linked above. Wondering if I should stay up for it

So they can be just like a team that went 12-22 in the ACB...

But how do you know NY gets him? That would be sort of a relief, because it might mean we keep RHJ.
