Where is Jimmy Butler going? He has been asking for trade for a long time any many teams have been reportedly involved including the Milwaukee Bucks.
The question now is, who’s going where?
The decision by the Dallas Mavericks to trade away superstar and franchise player Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis may have created a ripple effect. Meaning, nobody is safe.
Butler, who has been asking for a trade from the Miami Heat since September, might find himself get swapped for the player he reportedly wants to work with.
There is a major plot twist. The two might not work together at the Suns. Instead, KD will find himself swap places and move back to the Eastern Conference through the Heat.
How Milwaukee Bucks lose the chance on Butler?
Chatters within the league suggests the Suns are listening to calls for Durant even if team owner Matt Ishbia repeatedly express confidence in KD being happy with the team.
“We love Kevin Durant. We talk to him and his agent, Rich Kleiman, all the time. We don’t really go through contract extensions publicly, but I’ll tell you this. Kevin loves it. We love Kevin. We plan on Kevin being here. Nothing is changing with that,” he said.
This is back in October when everything still look good for the Suns.
Right now, it seems the Miami Heat needs KD more than the Suns need Butler. However, if their front office can create deals that can make them better contenders today as well as become future-proof, then a KD-Butler swap is not far-fetched.
As for the Bucks, there is a huge doubt they are going to trade away their no. 1 guy in Giannis Antetokounmpo.
