Reinsdorf also hated that damn bloodsucker David Falk, but he could only offer an apologetic smile now, who would he represent if not Michael Jordan?
"You say,"
"The first condition, in the summer of 1996 we will test the free agency market, listening to other teams' offers for Michael. Before then, we will not negotiate a renewal with the Bulls in advance."
Now even a fool knows that the salary cap will explode in the summer of '95, and Krause believes that Jordan can pursue an epic offer in the summer of 1996.
Of course, Falk wouldn't directly give the Bulls a number. He would first see the offers from other teams, then let these teams compete to drive up the price.
In Falk's expectation, Jordan's annual salary in '96 should be between 20 and 25 million.
Right, five times the top salary last season of David Robinson!
