Woj on Sportscenter "Rockets are recruiting Jimmy Butler hard and might have a deal with him"

I’m sure it does, to you.

 

Why is that tweet being taken so literal towards miami?

Ocho Cinco asked for that 1on1 since hes in miami.

Butler responds let me square up this contract first.

Nothing about with Miami specifically. Obviously his priority is his current FA.

Then says hell be the first person he calls. Obviously after he finds a new team.

It at no point should be taken as butler telling ocho cinco hes signing in Miami.

CF looks for reasons to be depressed

 

Definitely sounds like he is going to Miami and possibly use the LA teams as leverage. Butler and Miami have been linked for a hot minute.

 

That's how I interpreted as well but it's fun to troll

 

One thing to keep in mind is that Miami would have a much more difficult time offering a 4 year max because of their cap situation - He may have to leave money on the table to go there.
