Jabari Parker 2-year $40,000,000 dear player a team option for that second year for the Chicago Bulls does this help them get better especially with their issues defensively last year well I certainly don't think it's going to address any of the holes in their defensive situation and when you looked at their defensive rating last year it was obviously an area where they struggle they're going to ask Jabari apparently to play some three which was his much less efficient position on the floor particularly on the defensive end he's challenged to keep even facing fours in front of them so a three man could be really difficult form you see the numbers there in terms of defensive rating so this doesn't address that this also to some degree concerns me a little bit just in terms of opportunity cost when you put twenty million dollars into that situation it meant they had to renounce David nuova who does have a dirt working overachieving defensive ethos that you would say something that team needs you'd like to have that and they may be able to get him back anyway

 but they had to renounce him to make this happen but because they took twenty million dollars onto their books they now don't have the ability to be the last man standing when some of these tax teams that will be urgent to get rid of money come trade deadlines are going to be doing that so what you really have to do is compare Jabari Parker to the absence of Jabari Parker and the potential draft picks they could have gotten for that money.
