As the greats such as Jay Z say….”All Good Things Must Come To An End”.
This saying can go for Chicago Bulls’ forward Jimmy Butler. The 3-time NBA All Star is in a position where he may have to shop for a new home. According to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, Butler is “as good as gone” as he was able to get insight from a reliable front office source. As great of a career Butler had with Chicago which drafted him with the 30th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, “Jimmy Gets Buckets”‘ stint may potentially be over as the front office have been shopping offer deals for the Marquette University for quite some time. What makes matters worse for Jimmy is that the Bulls are on pace to miss the playoffs for the 2nd straight year in a row despite the depth of the roster.
The Bulls witnessed how valuable Jimmy is on the trade market as suitors such as Eastern Conference contenders like the Boston Celtics are entertaining in swapping future draft picks for the Texas native. With two more seasons and roughly $36 million left on his contract, don’t be surprised the Bulls are planning to buy out his contract or find other suitors than the Celtics to add the scoring sensation. Maybe a hometown reunion of him and the Rockets’ fan base can be a great thing for Jimmy as he’d be another scoring load be taken off for MVP candidate James Harden.
