discuss b!tches

[Eric Cartman]

I'll believe he is dying to be a Laker when he signs a 1 year deal.

[Jameerthefear]

Did you write that yourself?

[navy]

Bulls can and will match anything

[daily]

Sports Kings? Seems legit

[shootingcomets]

Bulls will just match whatever offer he gets

[inclinerator]

Bulls can and will match anything
he hates the bulls

[inclinerator]

Bulls will just match whatever offer he gets
he doesnt like playing there

[daily]

Bulls can and will match anything


Don't be surprised if Lakers or somebody else drops one of those toxic contracts on the Bulls to match

[bobopenguin]

why bother to talk when his boss definitely gonna match any offer?
now his teams gonna think he's an a$$ole who wanna leave.

[coin24]

he hates the bulls


Then he better not sign any sheets with other teams cause the Bulls will match and he's screwed.. Ala Eric Gordon

Then again the Bulls are cheap bastards so who knows.. Isn't there a max amount he can make though? And 4 year deal??:confusedshrug:

The bulls are offering him the max and he's getting it. There is nothing toxic that the Lakers can do,

That said, doesnt mean he doesnt want to be a laker. I just dont see it hapening.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

LAL core of JOkafor, JRandle, and JButler? Championship in 2018!

All dem J's...

[Magic 32]

Kobe needs to move to the 3 then.

PG: Rondo
SG: Butler
SF: Kobe
PF: Love
C: Okafor

PG: Clarkson
SG: Young
SF:
PF: Randle
C: Hill

Offer him the max, add a no trade, back load the contract so the big money comes up front. An un-moveable contract, un-tradeable contract

now match it

[Imtheman]

But this , a day ago states he wants to be a bull

no ur mama did while sucking my c0ck

[PickernRoller]

Just one of MANY pieces needed to contend IF we get him.

Dude will fill the Ariza/MWP role nicely. But that's it.

[Eric Cartman]

Alot of players will be signing 1 year deals this year cause of the salary cap spike.

Butler may very well be one of them.

can you dumb ****** stop including rondo into the lakers. first off he is a ****** ass celtics player. second off he sucks dick now. this aint 2012.

[boozehound]

these only work for non-max players. there is no contract the lakers would offer him that the bulls dont match. The only way he can get his own way is if he pulls a monroe and refuses any offer, signs the 1 yr tender and signs next off-season as a Unrestricted FA.

[COnDEMnED]

Sign a short term contract back with the Bulls and we'll pick you up next offseason as an unrestricted on the way to Durant's house.

[midatlantic09]

Glad to hear about this since this increases the likelihood that Russell is still available with the Sixers selecting at #3.

[Swaggin916]

Well I'm convinced :applause:

[Eric Cartman]

Lakers won't even consider picking Russell, dude's slow as hell.

Stopped reading at "according to sources close to Sports-Kings"

GTFO

:facepalm
So the lakers have enough space to give love, rondo, and butler the max....okay buddy. First understand how the salary cap works then come back here

[Genaro]

Source is unreliable, Bulls will match anything. If Butler wants to go to LA or anywhere but Chicago he needs to get the offer sheet or sign a contract with a one year opt out with the Bulls. There's no chance this year.

[The Iron Sheik]

he doesnt like playing there

doesn't matter. he doesn't have a choice in the matter. the bulls can will match any offer for him

[Magic 32]

u have 1 is a surprise

[Lensanity]

The dumbass Bulls need to get rid of Rose's dumb ass to make Jimmy Butler happy

[Dro]

:coleman:

Dude would be your best player, what are you smoking?

[ImKobe]

Don't believe this. Just some bs article without a legitimate source to generate clicks. Plus, the season is still going, this would be tampering.

[Optimus Prime]

Butler may very well be one of them.

This is the only way that Butler could realistically come to LA, though he is an RFA, so I guess he could also just decline to accept any offered contracts and play the last year on his original contract. It's risky because of injuries, but the cap is set to jump dramatically so he could take the chance to get paid by LA next summer.

If the Lakers or any other team offer a max contract, no matter how "toxic" it is, Chicago will match since Butler is literally the only asset they have.

Bulls can offer him more than any other team. Butler isn't going anywhere.

[The JKidd Kid]

Offer him the max, add a no trade, back load the contract so the big money comes up front. An un-moveable contract, un-tradeable contract

now match it

Now you're just making things up. A Max contract is a max contract you can't **** around with it and decide when they get the money a max contract is set in stone. And Butler doesn't qualify for a no trade clause. The only way the lakers get him is if he signs the qualifying offer the Bulls to be an unrestricted free agent next year. Otherwise the Bulls will match everything. Keep dreaming.

[The JKidd Kid]

Rondo max?

Are you drunk?

I'd be shocked if he gets 8 mil let alone a max.

[Nastradamus]

He's gotta sign his tender and play the year out if he wants to leave.

[senelcoolidge]

If he's going to the lakers, than he obviously doesn't care about winning and just wants to get paid.

[midatlantic09]

Lakers won't even consider picking Russell, dude's slow as hell.

He may not be the fastest or most explosive, but don't be surprised if he ends up being the best player from this draft.

[brownmamba00]

It's not like chicago is winning anything anytime soon

Lakers chasin' wing players can mean one thing...they're drafting Okafor on draft day.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Shoddy source. He was on ESPN the other day, and said he wanted to stay a Bull.

http://chicago.suntimes.com/basketball/7/71/629839/jimmy-butler-says-wants-stay-chicago

Would be interesting if LA got Monroe and Butler though.

actually yes you can

you might want to be the one who goes and learns something about the cap

the Lakers are under the cap they can do all sorts of fun things with the contract they offer butler

see Houston's offer to Lin that took him away from the Knicks


The principal terms of an offer sheet consist of the following. Any other terms of an offer are not considered to be principal terms, and the player's original team is not required to match:

The number of years, including option years

The base salary

The amount of any signing bonus or deferred compensation, including the payment schedule

Certain bonuses -- those considered to be "likely" for both teams and those based on generally recognized league honors6

Any allowable amendments such as guarantees, options and trade bonuses

the bolded is about how the contract is paid, things like front or backloading a contract so the player gets more at the start of the contract or a big ballon payment at the end

the second bolded is things like no trade clauses or trade compensation payments that would make the contract hard to move
