What can we give up and still improve for Jimmy Butler?

Picks, and anyone not named AD/Jrue/Mirotic/Randle

We don’t have the ammo to make this happen, but boy would it get interesting if Dell figured it out.

We don’t have the ammo, but I would def do

2 1sts. FJ, Diallo. Any of our players out of our top 4.

If they insist on Niko you have to at least think about it. Both he and Randle are expiring and it’s unlikely we keep both.

AD/Jrue/Mirotic/Randle

If a Butler to Pels deal was realistic, I don't think you could expect to hold on to both Mirotic and Randle, especially since both can be FAs after this year.

If you know you could sign him to an extension, or re-sign him this summer, Etwaun + Randle + 1st seems like a good starting point.

Edit: Forgot that Randle isn't eligible to be traded now. Niko would be the substitute in that hypothetical, but I would really hesitate to include him, along with Moore. Niko and AD were such a good pairing last year, and should get better with an offseason of work.

Randle can’t be traded until December. If they insist on another worthwhile player besides Moore it’d have to be Niko.

Niko, Jackson, Diallo, 2 firsts if he agrees to an extension with us.

Can't risk giving up more young players and first round pick only for Butler to pull a Demarcus Cousins and sign with GS for the minimum.

just like every other FA signed this offseason...
looks like butlers agent did his homework on specifying BKN, LAC & NYK. each team has expirings/players/picks that can be traded now, before 12/15

Yeah him wanting to be traded to the Knicks, Nets, and Clippers is very odd. Especially the Nets. Guess he doesn't care about winning and just wants to be the man in the bright lights getting a ton of money. And that's fine, if tht's what he really wants.

Let me just say this...you put AD, Jrue and Jimmy on the court at the same time and shite gets real.

Butler doesn’t fit this team. He’s ball dominant and an ISO player. He would make Jrue regress methinks. Plus he seems like a malcontent in the locker room and this team doesn’t need that. He’s talented, yes, but that’s not all that goes into building a team.

I like the idea of Dragic + Winslow over Butler

Maybe we can facilitate and get PJ Tucker or Dinwiddie here as a third team.

I think the fact that he wants to go to the Clippers, Nets or Knicks speaks volumes.

Not anything Minnesota would want. Plus doesn't he want to go to the Knicks, nets, or clippers?

Maybe we could facilitate a trade and get something from one of them

Is there an elite SF that doesn’t ball stop that is even remotely available? And frankly, I think we could use a little iso ball from time to time. Has it ever been said he’d a Melo like black hole? I’m honestly asking. Never mind how feasible it is to get him to come here over his big market choices.

I think we wait for a Middleton or Porter to hit the market or even a Winslow.

They aren’t really iso ball players

Man, I’d think
long and hard before giving up Mirotic.
