He ended up signing with Chicago for a lot less money than what the Jazz offered him.
All I can speak to is the conversation we had. That being said, I don’t remember the Bulls getting Marshall for cheaper than what the Jazz were offering. I’ll have to look into that.
What I do remember however, is that Marshall’s contract year also coincided with the offseason in which KOC and the Jazz were not so secretly eager to move on from Stockton and Malone and start the rebuild.
If the Jazz did offer Marshall more than Chicago, it could have also been the fact that Donnie didn’t like the looks of a rebuilding team minus Stockton and Malone. I also don’t remember KOC and Co thinking Marshall was a pivotal piece moving forward in the Post Statue era.
