Jimmy Butler’s Next Team is SUPER Obvious

Shams Charania reports the Heat are open to trading Jimmy Butler. The All-Star has a three-team list of where he’d like to end up but only one makes sense.

Losing Wiggins and Kuminga for Butler is insane...

[FilJR]

Jimmy is good, but sending 4 players (Kuminga+Wiggins included?!), nah…

[ravithangiralaviolin]

As I Warriors fan, I DO NOT WANT THEM TO GIVE AWAY KUMINGA, WIGGINS, AND WATERS FOR JIMMY! Hell no

[nd_ludd]

Tried of trading 35 year old players who just get injured. Does anyone just retire anymore.

[nbapbaupdate]

Jimmy Butler perfect fit to Memphis, Suns or Nuggets 🤔🤔🤔

[infinty]

as a warriors and steph glazer, a trade involving kuminga and wiggs right now for jimmy is a no go. they've been clutch this season as a duo on defense and offense.

[rnestito]

6:20 man that’s such an overpay for a 35 year old with no ring let’s call it what it is. Rather have a younger player like book if we’re handing out 4 players and picks.

[DrizzleSports]

Kuminga is just as special as Jabari smith jr which is not that great but really good. The sooner fans stop trying to hold onto him like he’s the next franchise player the better

Tyler's been ballin this year. Strong All-Star case with high volume and efficiency.

Meanwhile: Jimmy Butler agent fires back to shams about fake info.

First of all the trade package for Butler should be Wiggins, Melton, Anderson, and first round pick. Thats pretty reasonable. Don't cut your wing depth for a risky move. Heat would be dumb not to consider getting that first.

[jaygis]

As a warriors fan, hell no. Losing both kuminga and wiggins is stupid for a 35 yr old butler. They can take Moody, podz, melton and maybe wiggins, but idk. Wiggins is playing well, and kuminga is starting to hit his stride.

[DakotaCMartin]

Good point about my Rockets. While we COULD, we SHOULDN'T. He does not fit the age timeline, and if we were to trade for Jimmy, we would want to extend him and not give up all that capital for a half season. However, if we were to extend Jimmy, that means that major contract is going to him instead of guys like Amen and Tari who we absolutely need to keep along with Alpi.

[nevillepaul]

The problem isnt Jimmy Butler. Thats the one person they should keep. Their biggest problem is they dont have a real big in the paint nor a real point guard.

[uberneanderthal]

Jimmy continues to be the most slept on player in the league. 24 PER and .250 WS/48. those are all-time elite stats.

if the Nuggets can get him for MPJ or Murray, they NEED to make that deal.

[mojomogul]

Jimmy is most useful in the post season. You need him on a young team that has been getting bounced in the first 2 rounds and needs a gritty vet to take them to the next level.

[joaolouro]

No way the warriors are giving away Wiggins who's been carrying them for the past stretch of games plus Kuminga just for Jimmy who don't show up in the season, the most important part for the warriors who have an almost injury prone Steph curry

[TheDustin]

I wouldn’t give up anything for Butler if I could just sign him in the offseason.

[onlyfacts]

MPJ is way better than BUTLER..so why would them trade a younger player who can play SF/PF and shoot the ball for a older player who cant shoot and would just demand the ball

[brucelau]

Warriors fans should feel disappointed about this, they're really gonna trade their future and young assets for an aging Jimmy Butler?
