Out of all the teams left to trade for Jimmy something tells me the Bucks close this one out. Memphis makes sense but feel like they get cold feet. Will be hard to deal Jimmy to Bucks but in the end but it’s probably the best we can do. Guessing a trade looks something like this

Bucks gets

SG Alec Burks
SF Jimmy Butler

Heat get

PF Bobby Portis Jr
SF Khris Middleton
2027 1st rd pick

Pistons get

SG Pat Connaughton
SF Marjon Beuchamp
2031 2nd rd pick

* Also possible to flip Middleton and Portis to Raptors.

Imagine if we resurrect Middleton corpse like we did with Deng and Iso Joe. That would be glorious.

Not sure Pat will deal him East. Still don’t think he wants to see Jimmy take that ass in our building on the reg. My guess is Golden State will relent and go for one last push with Steph and Draymond.

I think we do this deal a few days prior to the deadline to see if we can swing it into further changes. Fox will be target 1A if we can get enough assets the Kings want. Fits the timeline.

Pat might not have a choice here. He’ll atleast come out of this with two solid vets and a pick in 2027 that blocks the Hornets. The other option is eating 57 million of beal in 2026 but get a few more picks from Suns. Butler is not really a good fit personality wise on the Warriors and they know it.

Buttwart having credit card trouble, Dwyane fighting cancer, Rozier under investigation . . .

Things can only go up from here.

Vol. 6 will be a beauty.
