Jimmy Butler (Merged Threads)

I'd like to see him play for Detroit. Ppl underrate Griffin these days, IMO with Butler they'd be a top-3 team in the East.

Does anyone know why no one really likes butler? And why towns hates him so much?

It would be fun to see Blake Griffin and Towns play together. Exciting big man duo.

Butler would be a much better fit in Detroit alongside Drummond than Griffin.

Sixers would be interesting. They have the most attractive pieces to trade, but that would be adding yet another subpar shooter to their lineup. Not sure how well Butler would work not being a primary playmaker, either, as well as questions regarding the locker room chemistry with Embiid’s playful personality and a younger overall team.

Rockets would be interesting, too, though I doubt they have the pieces to get him.

Seems to have been that way since he went from role player to star. It was reported that the veteran has-been players in Chicago resented him showing up one day with an attitude to match his contract. It was just a bad situation for the franchise, really, since just about severyone else was well on the way to washed up.

I think in Minny, he may have come in the same way, given his buddyship with Thibs, Thibs' rep, and the inconsistency of the younger supertalents on the roster.

Seems like a talented bard worker that would thrive on a team, and the team would be mad good, if he weren't the best player and leader by default. If he were the guy just outside the post game presser, even better. He should lead by example (which he does) and quit trying to talk, in other words.

I am sure his mother is quite fond of him.

Looks like Butler will be traded, but to who? Been hearing alot of rumors and be fun to see where everyone think where he going

I pick New York..i dont think Minny will trade him to a Western team

I think Philly has to do a deal for him, no? They whiffed on everything this summer and their core has shown it needs more. They have the contracts to match salary, young talent and picks to get it done. I think Covington + Bayless + Saric can get it done.

i am not sure why three rotation players, at best, would be enough to convince minnesota to trade one of the better players in the entire nba.

Then let someone make a better offer. Philly didn't offer more for Kawhi Leonard, I don't think they're going to for Butler. I don't think an offer of Frank Ntilikina and Kevin Knox as more intriguing though.

Cleveland in the mix now but dont know what they can offer

ESPN Sources: Another team pursuing a Jimmy Butler trade with Minnesota: Cleveland. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert was seen talking privately with Glen Taylor at NBA Board of Governors meeting on Friday. Both owners played a part in negotiating the Love-Wiggins deal.
