At the time, the Knicks were owned in part by ITT, which also owned Sheraton Hotels. A plan was possibly concocted where Jordan would receive substantial Sheraton holdings, perhaps in endorsement money which would be separate from the salary cap and seemingly within the rules, though a circumvention. Jordan's agent David Falk initially told the Bulls it would take a salary starting in the mid to high $20s of millions of dollars to sign Jordan. In the end, the Bulls topped that figure at $30 million and he never played for the Knicks. |
