Lebron does not want this dude in the Eastern conference.

That bulls series was a toss up and riled his feathers.

& should be. The latter couldn't cross the half court line without hesitating there, then hopping over so he wouldn't break his mother's back. The former? A Spanish royal piss pot. He'd a been the goods for you though. You missed that one. Can you imagine Pau quittin' on Pop like he quit on D'Antoni & TT consecutively? No. Pop woulda beat him within an inch of his life.

Yeah, the Lakers can only hire weak coaches because the good ones aren't allowed to coach there anyways.

Butler's agent didn't explain this to him?

But Butler cannot sign a one-year offer sheet with another team because of something called the Maximum Qualifying Offer. Teams already must tender a normal qualifying offer to any potential restricted free agent, but if they really value that player, they can also attach the Maximum Qualifying Offer provision. The mechanics of a Maximum Qualifying Offer are explained in detail by HoopsHype's Mark Deeks.

The most important provision is that other teams must sign Butler for at least three seasons with no options. The Lakers therefore cannot sign Butler to a one-year contract and they can't even sign Butler to a deal with an opt-out after the second year like Dallas did with Chandler Parsons last summer.
