We are desperate to have some one take it. If Kawhi, Klay, Kyrie won't, Jimmy isn't a bad pick up. Considering that our other option would be to rollover that max cap space to next year and hoping AD would sign. But the plan is to sign a max free agent this summer then trade for AD.

Eventually the cap space is going to be eaten up by our young guys if they are not traded for AD. So it adds to the urgency to use it asap.

You cannot sign a max free agent this summer, it's just not going to happen.

But I would like Butler to go to LAL.

LeBron/Butler and whoever else they add, maybe DMC, probably isn't going to beat GSW or HOU.

It is entirely possible that we don't sign a max free agent this summer. But we have space for one.

Again, with Jimmy, it doesn't guarantee they'll beat GSW or HOU. But they play these games to have a chance.

After 6 years of missing the playoffs, we'll take it.

Wait I'm confused... Are you Lakers or Celtics fan?

EDIT:

Just checked post history, so I guess I stand corrected lol.

Yes you do indeed have space for one max, and possibly a mid level free-agent, depending on what you guys renounce/team options.

I hope it happens. Jimmy Butler would be my ideal fit next to Lebron. Two ballhogs who can muck it up vs GSW sans KD

I get that LA needs to add an All-Star caliber player next to LeBron, but I think you’d probably be better off going for all the other guys that would demand a max (Kyrie, Kemba, Klay, Kawhi & even KD) before Butler.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

I agree. Those players are better, except maybe Kemba. The lakers would love to sign any of them before Jimmy, but if they strike out on those players, i wouldn’t mind Butler.

Again, the problem is the cap they have now will be gone in 2 years if/when they extend their young players. So they are kinda in a desperate situation. Just look at how our front office is a mess right now

Butler and the Lakers deserve each other.

I know these reports are all over the place, so who knows if this is true, but I will say this is said than a lot more conviction than every other free agency rumor with the possible exception of a report claiming Durant to Knicks was done.

The site itself doesn't have a ton of legitimacy as a first-hand source, but they're quoting an LA Times reporter, who theoretically could.
