Local media such as ESPN and CBS Sports in the U.S. posted Jimmy Butler as a trade target on the 11th (Korea time). Jimmy Butler is on the market, reports said.
Butler is still in effect. It is true that the number of absences is increasing due to injuries such as ankle injuries. There are ups and downs.
He is averaging 19.0 points, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game this season.
His true value appears in the playoffs. Butler has hard-carried Miami in the playoffs based on the flow of reading the game and strong motivation to win. Frustrated the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, etc.
Because of this value, Butler is still an attractive sale for teams seeking to win.
CBS Sports pointed out the three leading candidates for Butler's trade destination.
The first is the Golden State Warriors.
Golden State has Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The 12-man rotation centered on head coach Steve Kerr is solid. Buddy Hield is more active than expected as Curry's assistant shooter.
However, it is two percent short. The core is like that.
Golden State has already sought to recruit Paul George (Philadelphia) and Rory Makanen (Utah). However, there is no income so far.
There are a lot of cards to hand out instead of Butler. Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Pozemski and others. In particular, Golden State can pursue a trade with Butler by tying the team's young guns, Kuminga and Pozemski. They are young and have high potential. In particular, Kuminga failed to renew his contract this season. However, they are improving their aggressive abilities by installing midjumper. He also has good defense.
The second team is the Dallas Mavericks.
Dallas made it to the final last season. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving showed strong performances. It was the final winner of the West. However, the core strength is still 2% short. If Butler comes, it is the best place for the 3rd place that is lacking.
Finally, there is the Houston Rockets. Houston, centered on Fred VanVlet and Alferen Sengun, is full of newcomers. Jaylon Green and Jabari Smith, as well as Amen Thompson and Tari Eason, who are in the backup lineup.
