In familiar theme, new CBA screws over Chicago

In each of the last three CBAs, the Chicago Bulls have gotten the royal screw
over. It's almost uncanny. Fear what rule happens in six years when the next
CBA rolls around.
For those scoring at home, in the 2005 CBA, the new one and done rule
prevented the Bulls from drafting Kevin Durant in 2006 when Oden/Durant were
the first victims of the rule.
In 1999, the Bulls were poised to offer 20+ million dollar deals to both
McGrady and Duncan, but the new max salary rule eliminated their chances.
What is it this time?
Inexplicably, the max contract went from two levels to one level. Under the
previous CBA, Derrick Rose would have been eligible only for a deal starting
around 14.5 million, however, under the new CBA, Derrick Rose will be
eligible for a contract starting at 17.4 million.
The Bulls could see if Rose will sign for less, but Rose shouldn't. He's
worth the full max, and quite frankly, it's insulting to even ask. However,
the extra 3 million is going to have to come out of the money allocated
towards other players.
Combine that with a considerably harsher luxury tax and limits on how tax
teams can use the MLE, and the Bulls are effectively stuck with what they
have and may struggle to even keep that together.
Instead, Miami will have all three of Bosh, Wade, and LeBron making less than
Derrick Rose.
Jerry Reinsdorf will have to open the purse strings if the Bulls are to
compete with Miami, and Bulls fans have long had doubts on whether or not
management has the authority to go into the tax [and potentially deep into
it].
