Celtics don't need him now.

Not at whatever the price will be.

Minnesota's Jimmy Butler has three preferred destinations for a trade, league sources tell ESPN: The Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. Those three teams have max cap space to sign Butler as a free agent in July.

The timing of this wreaks of Lebron/Magic tampering.

If that was the case, they likely would've kept Deng has a salary filler. They can't make a trade now until December.

Correct. Good news for Celtics fans. The Lakers are still being run poorly.

Woj says Nets, Clippers, Knicks are the lucky 3. Had the right cities but lol at the Lakers.

If Butler is frustrated with Minnesota's players, he's going to go nuts in New York.

Raptors, a team seemingly going all in for 1 year and then blowing it up, should be considered a player for Butler.

Do they have anything they can trade that would interest the Twolves and also match salary?

Didn't realize that.  Thanks.

Nets should do whatever they can to get him.  Would instantly make them relevant and add credibility to them as a real and viable New York team and option.  The problem is making a trade that makes sense for both teams as I'm not sure Minnesota would want Russell and he clearly is the most valuable asset on the Nets.  Though Russell and Crabbe for Butler is somewhat interesting for the Wolves (if I'm the Nets I'd rather keep Crabbe and trade Carroll though even if it meant draft capital).

Nice! Clippers would be fantastic for the lottery protected 2019 pick.

Knicks wouldn't be bad either so they're out of the tanking picture (Sacramento pick).

A trade to the Knicks would certainly ramp up the Kyrie to NY rumors again.
