    Does this close the door on a Dwight Howard deal? (Assuming Chicago doesn't retain him)

    I don't think he can sign the agreement until July 11th, giving us ample time to work a deal with the Bulls or for them to clear cap room to sign him.

    Offer sheet will be for $25.1 million over four years. Bulls will have three days to match after signed July 11.

    That's good for a Lee type center who is a great backup/capable starter.

    First of all: Source link please.

    Second: If true, woah, that's a good deal. It averages out to 8+ million a year for a much taller Hayes who got about 5+ million a year.

    Feigan says $25 mil over 4 years. Huge difference if it's 4 versus 3 as far as salary cap goes.
