The Bulls have other needs so redoing Ayo's contract doesn't make business sense.

How about a separate Bulls site like the Cubs, White Sox, etc?
Officially named the starter after starting all 4 preseason games.

wut? He's a free agent after this season. Bulls are going to have to ante up. Good for Ayo.

I'd be calling Jalen Brunson's agent.
He’s RFA after the season because he was a second round pick so he will be due a new contract regardless and the bulls likely aren’t inclined to let him get offer sheeted and leave.
ante up yes, no to renegotiating current contract which i took as the meaning of "redo"
There's potential value to both sides with renegotiating. There's always a risk of injury, and Ayo might prefer locking in some money now. He's a relative bargain as well, so the Bulls can translate that into a new deal that's a win-win. No idea if they can come to terms, but I can see it working well for both.

I see the potential for a win-win here. I live in Tampa and the baseball team here has a history of doing this, some success, some failures, but worth exploring.
Unfortunately, I don’t work in the Bulls front office.

Looks like Plummer has signed with the Capitanes, a G-League team based in Mexico City
Saltcityhoops.com predicts Kofi will get signed and waived by the Jazz in the next few days so he can get a $50,000 bonus playing for their G League team:
Players who are cut from an NBA team’s training camp roster can be claimed by that team’s G League affiliate using something known as “affiliate player” rights, as long as they didn’t get more than $50K in guaranteed salary from the NBA club. So signing a player and then waiving him is often a way for teams to send talent to their G League team. Teams will often approach guys they think would fit well with their G League squad early in the summer with an offer to guarantee most or all of that $50K figure. Since the standard G League salary if just $37K, players are generally glad to commit to a specific affiliated squad if it means more than doubling their income.
Up to six guys can be acquired by each G League team in this manner, and the SLC Stars can already claim affiliate player rights to Paris Bass, Jeenathan Williams and Darryl Morsell because of their brief Jazz contracts. It was reported earlier this summer that Kofi Cockburn would get similar treatment, and then the Jazz/Stars can still perform that operation up to two more times.
This won’t have a huge direct impact on the Jazz’s team. Once the Exhibit 10 guy has been waived and becomes a Stars player, the Jazz no longer have any kind of exclusive rights, and any team in the Association can call that player up for a contract. But it’s still a useful maneuver for the NBA parent clubs: they want good players on their G League team, too. When the Jazz inevitably send players down to play or practice with the Stars, they want the basketball reps those guys get there to produce authentic and meaningful development. So they’ll try to fill the Stars’ roster with guys who will allow coach Nathan Peavy to run a similar system and philosophy.
Expect them to sign (and then waive) Cockburn and potentially a couple of other G League-bound prospects in the next few days. But since they’re currently at 20 roster spots, they’ll first need to waive Zeller or make one of the cuts/trades we speculated about up top.

Exhibit 10 shuffle
The other thing we’ll see the Jazz do a bit more of over the next few days is rotate some non-guaranteed guys through on what are referred to as “Exhibit 10” deals.Players who are cut from an NBA team’s training camp roster can be claimed by that team’s G League affiliate using something known as “affiliate player” rights, as long as they didn’t get more than $50K in guaranteed salary from the NBA club.

Active October as Jazz Weigh Decisions
With all due respect to the trade deadline and the summer transaction window, these few weeks in October are by far the busiest in the NBA year when it comes to the sheer volume of business that ge…

When is the last time Reinsdorf renegotiated an existing deal?

MJ's rookie contract was renegotiated in 1988. Not aware of any others (Scottie Pippen says hi).
It sure wasn't Scottie Pippen.......
That’s my point
I don't know much about nba salaries but it wouldn't surprise me if nba execs have a predisposition to not renegotiate. Bad precedent. I don't know about extending. A bit of a different angle.
But let's say the Bulls went to Ayo and offered two more years at a higher salary. What number would Ayo bite at?
There's been some.e unique circumstances for Ayo that have set him up pretty well. But I'm not sure how exactly he grades out for the league.

The bulls will offer 2 years 15 mil 6.5 in the first 8.5 in the second. Play enough years of 2k you understand what they can afford.

this is just a hunch, but I think people didn't go the game. Therefore, the arena was nearly empty.
