Lakers: Lakers Plan To Pursue Jimmy Butler

[Infinite_limit]

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of several team preparing maximum-salary offer sheets for Jimmy Butler in free agency, league sources told RealGM.


Butler will be a restricted free agent this summer after the Chicago Bulls were unable to sign him to an extension. The Bulls can offer Butler an extra season in his contract.


Butler also won the NBA's Most Improved Player award this week

I've shat on Jimmy Butler before. But I've got my eyes on him from the start of the season. He's their best perimeter player tbh. Still not better than my Kawhi tho.

Ha, ha.

You got nary room, CN. You pissed away a le June before last and then lost to your Clippers after heading back to either home up 3-2, or down 2-3.

You used to own the joint. Now you are just regular schmucks living in the suburbs.

Though without him the Celtics would have the 16 & we'd have the 17.

Somebody has to offset Kobe's complete lack of defense. Won't be Jimmy though.
