What I think he may be doing is looking for a team that is set up well can compete after the Warriors reign is over. I don't know the details of these teams, but I think the Nets are well run now, and so are the Clippers. Not sure about the Knicks.
I'm disappointed the Nuggets weren't one of the three. DT was recruiting him.
He’s an old 29. A team setup well to compete post-Warriors reign likely doesn’t include a maxed out 31+ year old Butler imo.
He’s worked hard, but he’s going to Carmelo route. Prioritizing off-court life in the big city with big money. That’s what a lot, if not most, players want . We’ll see if he gets it.
Mostly that. Think he had an all.tear tooIs there a reason he's an old 29 other than that he's played a lot for Thibs? I'm not saying that's a bad reason, just wondering if there's any other reason to think he'll age poorly.
Thibs, minutes, style of play.Is there a reason he's an old 29 other than that he's played a lot for Thibs? I'm not saying that's a bad reason, just wondering if there's any other reason to think he'll age poorly.
I really have always hated Jimmy Butler. Always seemed like a ****** person. Alway cheer for him to lose.
Of the scenarios I have heard for the Timberwolves and Jimmy Butler, the Milwaukee Bucks-Khris Middleton rumor is by far the most intriguing to me. If that is legitimate, pull the band aide off and get it done.
I was looking at the Raptors, trying to figure out a way to get Kyle over to the North. Probably as far fetched as it gets, cause I think the Raptors like the squad they have, but I also thought that when they had Demar, so, who knows! hahaThe most fun proposal I've heard so far is Butler to Toronto for Lowry and anyone else on the roster besides Kawhi and Anunoby. Kawhi and Butler would be a hell of a one year rental, and if not then blow it up and move both of them before the deadline for assets.

You have a contact that speaks with the entire Raptors organization?Unless something changes (like an insane one sided deal) I can 90% surely state that Toronto isn’t interested in Butler from the front office down to the coaches down to at least 50% of the roster that my contact talks to regularly.
