Lakers May Offer Jimmy Butler the Max this Summer

butlerJimmy Butler went from practically unknown, to all-star, to Most Improved Player. So the next step in that progressions would be a max player. Right? The Lakers think so, anyway. All it takes is one team to think so before you are regarded as such.

L.A. will plan on trying to land the restricted free agent this summer. But of course, the Bulls can match any offer he receives from other teams if they think he’s worth that.

Outside of Chicago, teams are already preparing possible maximum-salary offer sheets for Butler in free agency, including the Los Angeles Lakers as one of several expected suitors, league sources told RealGM.
