Hm perhaps Jimmy Butler could be the next target for Philadelphia 76ers

It would make sense, but reportedly Philly isn't interested in trading for him.

Not when the asking price was Simmons.

Some interesting notes on the starting lineup sheet: Derrick Rose starting for T’Wolves. Also, check out the reason given for Jimmy Butler’s absence. Sure.

Butler is better than Middleton, but that would be a terrible trade for Milwaukee, as they need Middleton's shooting much more than they need what Butler brings. Remember how much of a matchup problem Middleton was for us? That starting five would not have much shooting at all.

Butler is much better and he is a lock down defender plus the Bucks shed some useless salary in Delly. Butler is  top 10 or 15 in the NBA and Middleton is maybe 30-35 ranked player? The Bucks need to bring in more talent if only to make sure it's not Giannis asking for a trade next.

Sure, Butler is better than Middleton.  But he's older, and not exactly a great fit with Giannis when you consider neither is a great shooter.  I don't want my two highest paid, best offensive players, to be non-threats from three.   The spacing just isn't going to be ideal and makes it so much more difficult to build a roster.

Butler shot 35% from 3 last year and Middleton shot 35% from 3 last year. Butler is 2 years older than Middleton but Middleton also has a player option next year. I think it's an upgrade for the Bucks but I can see how fit might be an issue. Who's going to be top dog etc.... I do think Middleton would be a good fit on The Wolves.... I hope this is worked out soon one way or another...

Similar percentages, but you can hardly compare Middleton's 407 3PA to Jimmy Butler's 200. Butler has never attempted over 248 3's in a season. Plus, that was Middleton's worst 3P% since his rookie season, and was well below his career average of .391%, compared to Butler's career mark of .339%.

Additionally, I doubt they'd give up on Maker so early, and Delly is very important to their depth, despite potential injury concerns

Miami has reportedly made its final offer.  What that is, has not been reported.

Be interesting to see what they offer..and if i was miami i would see if butler would sign with them before trading for him

The Bucks won't trade Middleton for Butler...

No Butler trade yet? Surprising....

I just read a rumor of Covington and Fultz for Butler. That makes the 76ers much better.
