Bulls Struggle to Match Pelicans and Bucks for Mathurin | Chicago Bulls News
Description
The Chicago Bulls are in a tight three-way race for restricted free agent Bennedict Mathurin, but they’re at a major financial disadvantage compared to the Pelicans and Bucks. With limited cap space, the Bulls can only offer around $9 million via their smaller exception, while the Pelicans and Bucks can throw down nearly $15 million — and the Bucks even have a $25 million traded player exception. Tax-wise, both rivals are in better shape too. Analysts suggest the Bulls might be smarter to pivot, perhaps facilitating a trade involving draft picks instead of going head-to-head for Mathurin. If they can’t make a deal that fits their budget, it may be time to refocus energy on developing existing talent for the upcoming season.
