Based on salary cap projections, and the fact that Butler made the All NBA team this year, in the summer of 2019 Butler will be eligible for a 5 year/$247 million contract.

Nope. Just has to make it once. The numbers might change by a few million depending on what the cap actually is but he's now eligible for the super max contract.

I don't believe that is true.

Well, I guess I should've checked more than one source. It looks like he has to make one more All NBA team, either next season or the season after that, and then he will be eligible for it. If he stays healthy he'll do it.

Don't think Boston will give him that much.

49.4M per annum?? Are you kidding me??

For Lebron yes, maybe Curry but for anyone else fuck that.

We need to trade him before he starts commanding Kawhi/LBJ money.

That's where the league is headed. It's absolutely a worthwhile contract for a top 10 player. Not sure if Butler still will be 2 years from now as he's turning 30 though.

So you'd trade him then before he starts to command that kind of dough?

Not necessarily. I wouldn't be a in hurry to trade him before next summer. I'd have to see where the team is heading into the 2018-2019 season before pulling the trigger. Unless someone blows me away with an offer like the Celtics 1st pick + Brown or Bradley or Smart or something like that.

whatever the price ends up being, not interested in a 29 year old player that has been treated like a rental car w/150k miles on it

No way in hell. One of the reasons I want him dealt.

Usually you're not one to oversimplify to a silly degree. The correct answer is obviously you only deal him if you're getting fair value or at least something close. You don't just give away All NBA players.

That's also a recipe for letting him walk for nothing in return.

Depends on if he makes the All NBA team next year. He's not turning down an extra $70-80 million

The Bulls will never compete for anything as long as they have Jimmy Butler.

Depends on what your definition of fair market value happens to be.

I've said multiple times. The 1st overall pick + a young asset like Brown/Bradley/Smart. After tonight, I would like Smart.

Boston will never make that trade.

It's not really a comment on Butler. It's that they can't reload before he is over 30.

They can, but I would agree they probably won't. I see him being a great player until 33 or later though.

Well then they can continue to be a pretender instead of a contender
