Jimmy Butler Watch

The Miami Heat are interested in Julius Randle, per @IanBegley


“Keep an eye on Minnesota in a Butler deal. In the offseason, the Heat were one of the teams that expressed interest in trading for Julius Randle, per SNY sources. Randle has remained on the Heat's radar during the Butler saga, sources say. I don't know if there are any active trade talks between Minnesota and Miami. But the two teams have been in touch on Butler trades.”

Oh I never really thought about this avenue. Wolves are in cap hell. Butler is essentially an expiring+. If he declines and becomes a FA, they clear up 40+ mil of space and are out of the 2nd apron. If he picks up his option, great you have him for another year before he’s done.

I view this as a pure salary move for the Wolves. Only downside is he may potentially nuke your locker room.
