In before someone post some delusional trade involving Ryno and Gordon. There will be teams lining up with better offers if this is true.
New York trades Joakim Noah to Minnesota Houston trades Ryan Anderson and 2 1sts to New York Minnesota trades Jimmy Butler to Houston Thibs would have an orgasm.
Wolves might not even make the playoffs next season with the loaded West. CP & Harden should be calling and recruiting Butler hard right now. Butler should be trying to "Kawhi" his way out of Minny.
Jimmy can force himself to Houston if this is where he wants to be. Much like Kawhi is doing right now except it would take a lot less to get him.
I agree, however if Jimmy let teams know he wants to only be in Houston and will not sign extension with their team we could have a chance....
Not gonna buy this without some real sauces, but he would be perfect. Gordon, some number ones, and cap filler is by no means a joke of an offer if Butler wanted to come here.
Only way this happens is if Jimmy says he will not extend his contract making him a 1 year player anywhere he goes but will extend if traded to houston. This would, in theory, lower other teams offer. I give this a pretty low chance of happening. Watch Golden State trade Omri Casspi, their jock strap washer and a stale doughnut and land him.
Something to keep an eye on. Minnesota also wants to get under the LT while being able to max out KAT. EG is a cheap and productive contract, they also need shooting to space the floor more for KAT and Wiggins. EG + whatever actually makes tons of sense if they’re willing to bite
