Reported first by the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnson, Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler has hired agent Bernie Lee from the Toronto-based Lee Basketball Services.
Butler’s new representation comes just two days after he met with members of the Bulls’ front office for discussion of his future. With the 2017 NBA Draft approaching, trade rumors involving the All-Star find themselves heating up once again.
During the Monday meeting, Butler did inform the team that he had officially decided to go forward with Lee. Additionally, the meeting was said to have gone “well” overall.
