Is he? Makes so much sense for them imo. Just don't know who wants DDR. Not that he is bad, still a solid player and has a decent contract, but he's always a weird fit anywhere. Maybe the Hawks would want him? Feel like the Hawks should be desperately trying to to add a productive player at a low cost (could give the Jazz Capela) so they don't embarrass themselves giving a high pick to the Spurs

No there was a report that Demar is excited now that Zach is in town.

Spitballing here: would taking Butler on and sending Sexton and/or Collins such that the Heat
-get quality players that expire in 26
-get under aprons and maybe the tax altogether
-move on from their Jimmy nightmare at the soonest possible moment

be a deal that we could do immediately and without sending (other) assets? This would
-give us a day to shop Jimmy, if we can’t find the buyer (him not being able to be aggregated is not a problem with his salary) would
-give us Jimmy’s Bird Rights (SnT possibilities) in the off-season, however
-he could just opt-out and bounce, freeing up capspace
-better ensure organic losing/open up development time

The simplest path to this kind of trade is

Buter + Rozier -> UTA
Collins+Sexton+Clarkson -> MIA

This gets MIA out of the tax (and saves a ton on actual player salary), it gives them 3 players to help them win that expire in 26, it gets Jimmy out of there, and it gets them out of this Rozier legal situation. That's got to be worth a decent amount to them right?

IDK what we can do with Butler after that....I'm sure he's bluffing to some extent. Maybe you can extract a first from for a team looking for a rental or maybe you send him home and you do a S&T in the summer or he opts in and you trade him on a one year deal. We could also simply be looking at a lot of cap space if Butler opts out and Rozier gets banned from the NBA.

I'd rather have Kyle Kuzma.
 
Seems like Butler to GSW is still a possibility. If that's the case, MIA will not want the incoming salary of Wiggins (you better believe he's going to TOR) and they also wouldn't want Kuminga.
