With no bites, the former Chicago Bulls star slashed the price by over $5 million, instead asking $10.9 million for the waterfront property.

And after splitting from his wife of nineteen years, Larsa Pippen, 43, in October last year, Scottie is determined to bring in a potential buyer any way he can.
