The Los Angeles Lakers plan on pursuing another max contract free agent next offseason.

The 2019 free agency class includes Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins and others.

According to a source close to Butler, he's open to the idea of joining LeBron James with the Lakers.

The Minnesota Timberwolves traded for Butler on draft night in 2017.
