The Jimmy Butler saga so far

-Jimmy wants Phoenix & GS, doesnt want Memphis or Bucks who have shown interest in him

-GS prioritize size over him and unwilling to deal wiggins & kuminga for him
- Phoenix can match the salary by trading Beal (they will not trade either Booker or Durant ofcourse)
- Beal is willing to waive his no trade clause for Miami but the Heat dont want his contract
- No one might be willing to take Beal's contract (maybe only small market teams which Beal could turn down)
- Can trade him to Sixers for a reunion but need to give up PG (the Heat needs to approve if they want)
- Rockets and Mavs could push a trade but are they willing to destroy their Chemistry for this guy?
- Clippers can package Mann, Powell & others but Miami would want more

What do you guys think about this?

As a Blazer fan, I think it’s hilarious. And I think they should “do right by Butler and send him to the team he wants, regardless of the return they get”. Pretty sure I heard those words on repeat for an entire summer from Heat fans.

I think the Heat will end up disappointed with the return they get.
