    Best package Miami can offer is something like Winslow and Richardson...or James Johnson with Richardson...maybe swapping Dragic with Teague...yuk.

    Josh Richardson + Kelly Olynyk + ?
    Miami Herald - 07/04/2018:
    If Butler really wants out, the T’Wolves might prefer to replace him with a defensive-minded similarly skilled swing man. Josh Richardson (due $9.3 million in 2018-19) would fit that need, but the Heat would have to find a way to come close to matching Butler’s salary ($20.4 million) for this season. Including Dion Waiters ($11.5 million) or Kelly Olynyk ($11.1 million) in the deal would do the trick.

    yeah its kind of tough to gauge JB's true priorities. He definitely has been building himself and his brand the last couple years once he elevated himself into the all star category. and as he is approaching 30, he wants to command as much money as possible while his value is what it is right now

    2 from my list lol.

    Only real question left for me is whether he has Boston or LA as team #3. If Boston isn't on the list that should scare Ainge about the future of Kyrie.

    Whether we are or aren’t on the list of teams everyone should know that list is not the end all be all. A list of teams who would be willing to gamble on him is way more significant.

    I’ve been saying Raps since they traded for Kawhi. I’ll be shocked if Masai doesn’t pull this off.

    Giving him a new contract is an issue because he’s feuding with Towns and Wiggins.

    If Miami and NY are on his list this he isn't about that winning life.

    I’m thinking the same thing, but what contractual matter could he be referring to? That doesn’t make the Wolves look good.

    If Rockets are not on the list, I hope he has a bunch of shitty teams on the list. I hope Lakers are not on the list since it would just make our conference more challenging.

    "contractual issues" probably means "shoe contract escalator clauses" lol

    It would hurt our depth too much to acquire Jimmy Butler.

    on the reddit thread discussing the 3 teams there is like 0 mentions of Houston or Rockets.

    Everyone on here is like "Houston has to be 1 of the 3, right?!?!"

    Lol. We shall see.

    They are not trading OG for Butler if they did not trade him for Kawhi.
