I know exactly what I'm about to get for this take, but I'm gonna say it anyway. If we lose JB in the offseason, I'd kick the tires on a Butler trade. If he comes cheap enough...
Oof, just looked at his contract, NVM. Forgot he extended and thought he only had a year or 2 left which I think he would be fine in that amount of time. Our guys are gym rats and follow instruction well, so I don't think it would be anything like the Minny situation. Anyway, I think that contract, considering his age and wear and tear, is as bad as any in the NBA. I liked the thought of him coming in and teaching by example about physical basketball to some of these guys, but no way Jose on that contract! Imagine a 36 yo Jimmy Butler making $52M in his last year.
