Hard to wrap my head around how awful the Zeke extension was, defenders of Booth’s contract extension claimed it would be a trade-able asset that could fill in for missing salary. But now it is such a toxic asset that the Bulls don’t want to touch it to move on from one of the least trade-able contracts in the NBA(LaVine).

Jesus this Zeke contract is unmovable, might have to trade strawther to get it done
Just last season Lavine himself was considered the same type of toxic non-tradeable asset.

Saric and Strawther equal it
The pattern of loyalty over logic has been really frustrating.
I feel like this is the only thing delaying this trade at this point. But if the Nuggets really want to get LaVine there are other ways like attaching Saric + Vlatko, Saric + Pickett + Cash.
No way?!?!
Booth was handed one of the greatest players of all time and proceeded to screw the pooch so badly.
Only the tanking teams would take that shit of a contract for a first. Dude is not even a g league player.
Paying him $8.9m + paying Dario $5.17m with a player option should be firing offense for Booth, that’s $14m trapped in not moveable assets
Who would’ve thought…
Surely that’s cap. He gets paid like 8m per year where a teams salary cap is 140m. I don’t believe a soon to be tanking team cares that under 7% of their cap could be tied up in a bad player.
