Even if Butler leaves we get our PG of the future and open up space for Bamba. And an awfully entertaining team even if just for one season


He wants to go to Heat now.

Yeah, I love Jimmy's game but we just aren't the right fit at this moment in time. And honestly, I don't know what's going on inside Jimmy's head right now and I'm not too sure he would be the right team influence on young guys. It may be much more than that in Minny but it's a red flag which I'm sure Philly is thinking about.

He just wants to play with his bff Wade :lol:

I never thought he is realistic option for us, Magic window to contend opens when he is out of his prime .

I see the Kings are interested in doing what I would be interested in seeing Orlando do in the right scenario.

I would be okay absorbing Dieng’s deal while sending away our expiring contracts and a protected pick if we obtained a young PG in return.

Sexton and SGA fit that mold and are teams which have shown interest in Butler already.

I’m not sure who else is a good target however. I have no interest in Ntilinkina (spelling?) from the Knicks. The Nets have interesting names but they are free agents next summer so I would make that deal.

No one on the Heat interests me.

It seems Butler is just after a lifestyle... being the undisputed face of a team and living in a big party city where he can enjoy his life as a young multi-millionaire star. This is a guy who once wore a shirt that said pussy money and weed. He doesn't care about winning. He wants to party. Would be awesome to get a talent like him in orlando, but his priorities obviously don't align with what the magic need.

Can you blame him?
Father left him as baby, mother kicked him out when he was 13.

And about not chasing rings, lot of players act like they care so much about rings, but in reality we all know they love $$ and lifestyle more. That's why not a single star ever signed on vets minimum to "help" team.
Even biggest star in basketball moved to team with zero ring hope this year.

Fans care about winning/team success/championships more than players oftentimes lol.

Being real if I was making 20+ mill a year I’d be doing everything in my power to live in Miami or LA. I don’t see anything wrong with the bolded part of the post you quoted. These guys are humans too

yep, i'm pretty sure T mac does not puts himself to sleep in tears ,living in $7M house, 8 rooms and elevator ( yes, elevator :rofl: ) just because he never won chip.
Prestige of winning ring does not even exist any more anyway. Steph already won 3 rings , Durant has 2, Lebron has 3, it feels like rings are inevitable if you are superstar, you just need to push your way to superteam. (and keep taking short term deals to escape failing superteam on time )

He's free to do what he wants regardless of his life story. I'm just pointing out what his priorities seem to be.
