Red Jazz:消息說: Jimmy Butler想跟湖人簽一年短約
...雖然他是受限自由球員, 公牛可以跟任何合約, 但以今年一年短約的風氣, 跟也沒太大意思, 明年就變未受限
"But Butler cannot sign a one-year offer sheet with another team because of something called the Maximum Qualifying Offer. Teams already must tender a normal qualifying offer to any potential restricted free agent, but if they really value that player, they can also attach the Maximum Qualifying Offer provision. The mechanics of a Maximum Qualifying Offer are explained in detail by HoopsHype's Mark Deeks.
The most important provision is that other teams must sign Butler for at least three seasons with no options. The Lakers therefore cannot sign Butler to a one-year contract and they can't even sign Butler to a deal with an opt-out after the second year like Dallas did with Chandler Parsons last summer."

所以說想歸想....若是公牛丟出MQO (5yr/90M), 湖人或其他球隊的offer就最少得簽三年. Butler若真的想盡快逃離芝加哥, 那就只能再賭一把, 跟公牛簽一年$4.4M的QO, 然後明年夏天變成無受限自由球員, 去追那個終極頂薪夢(5yr/180M+).
