The Butler turns BI. 

Post#1 » by penbeast0 » Sat Jan 4, 2025 2:03 am

More Jimmy Butler fantasies:

Butler and Terry Rozier to New Orleans
Brandon Ingram and CJ McCullom to Miami

Ingram is unhappy with the Pelicans, not playing particularly well, and on his way out after this year most likely.
Butler is unhappy with Miami and wants out now. He's better than Ingram but also a lot older and forcing his way out.

Rozier has been a bit disappointing with the Heat; McCollum is aging out but will hopefully give Miami a bit more than Terry has.

Both teams look to play better now.

(of course, as a Wizards fan, New Orleans playing better also helps our tank so I might be a bit biased on this one)

I like the trade and I tried to do the trade on Spotrac ... And how legit are these trading platforms?

It says Pelicans are over the 1st apron by $567,205 ...

New Orleans should be compensated here. Rozier is a worse player than McCollum and Butler is old and has burned bridges on several teams now. But, I like the foundation. Easy way to make it work is to find a team with the MLE remaining or that is interested in one of the minimum deals on the Pels.

Maybe a 3 way and the Bulls bring back Butler?

Pels - Patrick Williams, Lonzo, Rozier
Heat - Ingram, McCollum, Jevon Carter
Bulls - Jimmy Butler, Heat Minimum Guy, Pelicans Minimum Guy
Where's the D?
