Dude, it's hard enough to make any trade with him included at all. Asking to include him twice would require the impossible.
Maybe we can trade him to two different teams so they can share the pain (and the salary cap hit). BNM
With Ant waiting in the wings I'd consider CJ. However, with the risk of his FA next summer, we have to get more back from Minny.
This makes a ton of sense: MIA Gets: Jimmy Butler MIN Gets: Josh Richardson, Bam Adebeyo, Justice Winslow, Kosta Kofous SAC Gets: Gorgui Dieng, Rodney McGruder, 2019 MIA 1st MIAMI Dragic / T.Johnson Ellington / Wade Butler / Waiters J.Johnson / Babbitt Whiteside / Olynyk MINMESOTA Teague / Jones / Rose Richardson / Okogie / Williams Wiggins / Winslow / Nunnally Adebeyo / Gibson / Tolliver Towns / Kofous / Patton
Why would Minnesota give a rats ass where Butler's preferred destination is? Does he have a no trade clause? They owe him nothing. He has played a total of 64 games for them. If I were the Twolves I would trade him to the furthest NBA city possible away from Miami just to piss him off.
I'm torn on Butler. Yes, I want basketball player Jimmy Butler on the Blazers. The reasons are obvious and have already been presented on this board ad nauseam. No, I don't want the Jimmy Butler that has been reported to be a total dick, bad teammate, and perpetual malcontent. This is one time when I'd ask some of the players what they know about Butler. Because they know. Specifically, I'd leave the question of whether to trade for Butler up to Damian Lillard. If Dame says go for it, I'd go for it. If Dame says the guy is toxic, I'd pass. That simple.
Damn I didn’t know Jimmy had a no trade clause! If I was Thibs I woulda literally wiped my ass with that Miami request.
