Jimmy Butler is staying in Chicago. After turning down a four-year, $44 million contract extension last year from the Bulls and flirting with the Lakers this offseason, the All-Star swingman and restricted free agent has agreed to a 5-year max deal with the Bulls, according to a report from Woj:

Butler average 20 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in 2014-15, and was named the NBA’s Most Improved Player. Good move for all involved?
