So, the Pels have no space to offer a max contract this summer...

Correct?

Just wondering, as Jimmy Butler is a restricted free agent, whom the Bulls will likely want to retain by matching any contract offers.

But still, what's his relationship with Thibodeau like?

Correct. We can't get him and they will match regardless.

A sign and trade is a slight possibility.

Price would be astronomical.

What about EG's expiring?

I mean, the biggest upgrade we need is a wing defender. This guy also happens to be a great scorer who is only improving.

Just was throwing it out there, considering the possibility that we might get Thibs. Very likely that it won't happen, but it's interesting to think about.

I'm assuming you are all joking.

There is no way that Chicago parts ways with Butler. They will give him the max. They will match any offer.

Any S&T offer would have to be an astronomical (re: more than virtually any team would be willing to pay) offer. IE Young up and Coming player + multiple draft picks.

Not happening.

i'd be happy with Danny Green.

Just throwing out a topic of discussion.

Lakers are reportedly planning to offer Butler the max.

Danny Green would be solid, but I feel like you'd have to pay him a premium to get out of San Antonio.

Absolutely correct.

We'll just have to settle for their coach.

It depends how he feels about winning, moving forward. The Pelicans will be the better option of the two, very soon.
