Jimmy is always a problem when he wants to leave but when he’s healthy and not mad, he’s going to play hard and well. He’s an excellent player. He’ll rub his teammates the wrong way if they don’t go as hard as he does.

I don’t know if Mem should but they could use some more star talent. I don’t know if Jimmy will be healthy and Ja is already a question mark all the time. Who and what would they have to send?

A Butler trade to Memphis would cost Memphis Clarke, Smart, Kennard, and Konchar.

I don't know if that's good enough for Riley.


Oh. Smart is still my boo thang, but that’s not much. Depends on the pick compensation though.

That’d be as good (if not better) than they will get total imo.

Hey can you find out if Dean on Draft went to work for Memphis?? That was always my guess but it seemed like some people thought Toronto for some reason.

Butler is going to end up in Phoenix because that is where he wants to go. NBA Players run the NBA.

If he wants his coffee business to boom, Seattle should be his next destination. I hear there's no coffee there.

And any other team that start with "M"

Riley is a SOB and will run him to the ground even if he doesn't get anything for him

The Suns would need to find a home for Bradley Beal. Good Luck!!

Miami already said no to Beal.

Jimmy trying to limit Miami's trading options is very reminiscent of Lillard trying to force his way to Miami. Which Heat fans said Blazers FO should respect and acquiesce to.

There may be some karmic forces at work here.

The plot thickens!

I think winning last season's mid season CUP has made the LA Lakers a trade destination.

GSW gets Lebron
LAL gets Beal
PHX gets Butler
MIA gets LaVine, Redish
CHI gets Moody, Looney, Wiggins, GP2, picks

Good effort but we need at least 8 teams. Honestly, it's probably going to be something like this involving 4-5 teams.

I was saying Memphis would be the best fit for him. Silly if Butler turns down Memphis for Phoenix imo.

Orlando Robinson was waived
I always liked him when he played us in Miami and summer league
