Uncle Jeff coming home.

Butler is a weird one because:

1) He definitely is getting traded
2) Heat probably want winning players
3) Teams trading for him won’t want to give up winning players
4) I haven’t heard of any team that is super interested
5) The Heat probably don’t want to F up their long term salary.

I think HOU makes sense, but they’re probably not giving up Reed. TBH, Collins+Sexton is not too bad of a winning combo and it doesn’t change their cap outlook.

I think we make sense as a third team. Other offers I’ve seen online are not great for the Heat.

I find this deal interesting, though I don’t think the Rockets will give up on Reed so soon. You could Sexton to this framework (I think either team could use him) as well.

I think Butler makes a ton of sense to a few teams:

Dallas
Minnesota
Nuggets
Rockets
Memphis

I could see these teams going all in with Butler too:

Golden State
Phoenix
Milwaukee
Philly
LA Clippers
LA Lakers

If no one can make it happen on their own, you know Aigne will help out but if he helps Minny get Butler so help me!!!

Is there ANY circumstances where the Jazz would want Butler? I am racking my brain to think of one. I mean, Ainge LOVES stressed situations... but this feels like we play facilitator at most.

If he got one or more additional all stars at the trade deadline. If that is Zion, Fox and Butler he would spend all his picks to do that. But that is not on the table but I could see Ainge do a big huge swing of spending capital to get a collection of talent.

Butler is the last guy i would like. General soreness, his mentality.....

 

[Agent#00]

Butler want Paul George money. 49m/4 years. No thanks

 

[Tremendous Upside]

The man is 35 years old and a known malcontent.

Anyone who gives him a new deal longer than two years is insane.

He’s flamed out of every team he’s played for and he’s 35 year old baby
