Butler has to be needling the Heat right now because we probably did have something going on with Memphis whom we have great trade relations with and actually had some pieces that would have made for a clean deal. Memphis was either non committal on extension or he just outright don't want to play with Morant or Jackson.

The Memphis exclusion is curious. Buttler probably heard a trade with Memphis was close and he decided to derail it.

So anywhere but Miami and Memphis now. OK


Sorry but what a POS. He knows Memphis likely presents the best remaining deal for the Heat but still wants to be a brat. He deserves the worst at this point



Bro can legitimately put Memphis over the edge too. Silly stuff

It makes no sense, I agree. He'd be perfect with Bane, Ja, JJJ, and Eddy. They would DEVASTATE the West.

Yep completely agree. Dude is going to lose money in the end with no title because he’s got the wrong people in his corner

After doing some research the best landing spot for Beal that he'll waive his NTC looks like the Bulls if they can ship LaVine out to possibly Detroit or Milwaukee. Beal's agent Mark Bartlestein and Priority sports is based out of Chicago. Chicago is also a short distance away from Beal's hometown of St Louis, loves the coach Billy Donovan, and the Jordan brand ties always talks about his admiration for Jordan. Let's get Lonzo Ball down here!!

Jimmy better be careful. Pat is a literal mobster, hence The Godfather nickname. There’s been people killed for far less than the remaining amount of Jimmys contract, hes walking on eggshells right now and it’s in his best interests to work with the Heat in good faith to get him to his next destination before Pat puts a hit out on him.

What about the lakers? They have a hole at PG, and Beal wanting to be close to LA was the reason he gave to accept the Phoenix trade.

Who would we be getting back if they kept Bane?

Smart, Clarke, Kennard, and Konchar, with picks. I assume Clarke would go to a third team because his contract is a year too long.

Marcus Smart ( :banghead: ), Brandon Clarke, Jake Laravia would have been my guess.

I just don’t see much there for a trade. He would say yes but that’s about it. LaVine makes more sense going there but they have balked about including Reeves.

I like him going to a bad team like Toronto wizards or hornets. Teams that won't give him any help by getting better players to play with him

Mmkay, so then my next question would be why. This sounds awful.
