Especially since he's shooting 40% from 3 this year and has every move in the book at getting to the rim!
But after reviewing his contract I think a trade for him is pretty much improbable because I'm not giving up any of PJ/Gafford/Maxi/ for him.
Just thinking about the role and Butler's prefered spots it's not the same. He isn't a rim runner. Butler operates on the ellbow. Likes to post up or face up. That's difficult to integrate into an offense that is all about the pick and roll and perimeter isos. Was the same with KP.
