Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

The Bulls are "unlikely" to extend Jimmy Butler's contract, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard.

With the salary cap set to skyrocket, this surprises me.

Is it a team option to extend, or would Butler be turning down any extensions looking for a big pay raise when that salary cap skyrockets?

I love Jimmy Butler, but he's limited offensively (although I believe he's underrated in this regard) and, I believe, a replaceable player for the Bulls.

I think you're in for a surprise on what sort of money a guy like Jimmy Butler's going to be making when he does sign a new contract.

Butler will get paid, but as a non-scoring two guard, it's not on the Bulls.

KC Johnson says they are $4 million apart and making progress.

Butler is a fantastic piece on a very good team, the 4th or 5th starter, or one of the first guys that should come off the bench.  Cleveland would love to have a guy like that right now, he'll have not trouble finding a job after this year.

General manager Gar Forman met with Butler’s representative Wednesday morning. The sides have until Friday to reach a contract extension that would prevent Butler from becoming a restricted free agent in the summer. Sources said a gulf once at $4 million annually has been narrowed but expressed pessimism a deal would get done.

Remember Reinsdorf is incredibly cheap and traded Deng last year, so they didn't have to pay the luxury tax.

I don't see that happening.  Maybe though.

Gordon Hayward contract is 62M for 4 years resulting in 15.5M per year.  That is serious cash.

Someone will offer Jimmy more than he's worth and the Bulls will refuse to match, a la Omer Asik in 2012.

I think he's worth $40M for 4 years.

That just really isn't true at all.

@ZachLowe_NBA: If Bulls offer topped out in the $10.5M neighborhood, I'd bet on Butler coming out ahead by going into free agency.
