NBA Rumors: Bulls' Jimmy Butler on a Date with 'Pretty Little Liars' Star Amidst Heated Draft Reports
Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler seems to be having more time hanging out in Hollywood than in Chicago with his teammates. Latest roundups saw Butler chilling out with 'Pretty Little Liars' actress Shay Mitchell who played the character Emily in the hit TV series.
According to Hollywood Life, there was an incredible smile painted on Mitchell's face as she went out for lunch date with Butler. They were caught walking side by side in Beverly Hills although both of them tried to keep things casual and avoided flaunting any public display of affection.
Last time, Butler was pressed for details about his love life. After being persistently quizzed by reporters, he spilled the beans over the identity of his celebrity crush.
"My celebrity crush...I would have to say Shay Mitchell, who plays Emily on 'Pretty Little Liars.' Have you seen that show? She's, uh, she's really, really good looking. Shay Mitchell it is," said Butler as quoted by Chicago Tribune.
Recently, there have been speculations over their rumored relationship when the 29-year-old actress was seen watching Bull's match-up with the Lakers. The two-time NBA All-Star was the league's Most Improved Player last season.
In a related development, Chicago Bulls may still be hanging on to their All-Star guard despite listening to various competing offers from other teams. In the past few months, news of Butler's rumored trade has been raging like wildfire but chances of sending him off elsewhere for a juicy tradeoff may not be happening.
The Boston Celtics are reportedly pursuing him so they can attract Kevin Durant into signing in this offseason. As per Larry Brown Sports, Butler is currently locked into a max contract as Chicago mulls on building a core team of players around him. The problem, however, is that the 26-year-old basketball star seems to have a locker room issue with his teammates.
