Re: Suspect source claims Jimmy Butler interested signing with the Lakers
The issue with Butler isn't that he's interested in X or will/could sign with X....the problem (for Chicago) is that he's reportedly interested in signing a short-term contract so that he can sign for as much as he can get under the new cap. A 3 year 50 mil extension with a player option so that he could hit UFA after year 2, where his new max would be 190/5.
Which would be an absolute disaster for Chicago...they went from playing hardball with his extension before this breakout season, refusing to go past 11 mil/yr when Butler's camp was asking for 12. They could've locked him up for 4-5 years at 12 per...now they're looking at potentially having to give him somewhere in the 30-38 mil range.

Not really that surprising.
You'll probably see more of these type stories since players now know that KoME is retiring.

He's not going to L.A. The only reason for exploring the sheets is to get the most money he can right now. Chicago will match any offer. Originally Posted by HOoopCityJones

Re: Suspect source claims Jimmy Butler interested signing with the Lakers
He's using the Lakers as leverage which is smart. When was the last time a big time restricted free agent actually signed with the Lakers? I think never. He'll end up signing a max contract with the bulls.
