Jimmy Butler’s going to be a free agent next summer. Didn’t get an extension done. The Warriors have interest there, and probably made a couple calls [to Miami] this summer.

    Turning 35 this year, has a history of injuries, and is a strong personality in the locker room. I know it’d be a terrible decision, but any chance some team offers him a max?

    Would spurs want him on like a 2 year max ? Idk what their cap situation is but having him around vassell,kj,castle would be a good vet who’s played on the wing for years. Him and cp3 might clash though but both guys respect pop it would be cool to see.

  3. Nobody giving 35 (36 next season) year old jimmy butler (with an injury history) any sort of max extension just to underperform all regular season, make a play-in spot and then get bounced in the first round.

    Unless if your goal is not to win, then someone will do it to sell some tickets.

    Warriors will do something drastic to maximize Steph’s final years, but they get ONE shot to get it right. Believe in MDJ!

    I bet Curry would love to have a former Bull in the locker room.

  6. Trade for Kawhi instead. Lines up with stephs contract.

    Strange how the game has already changed as I believe two years ago Jimmy Butler would have gotten a normal max contract OR slightly below it.

  8. background_action92

    Oh yeah, give us Kuminga, Podz and looney

    He should come off the bench in Minnesota if he wants his ring

    signing Jimbo you gotta accept the weirdness that comes with it… also the fans will wanna kick his ass sometimes when he shoots a tour date in the regular season

    but man the vibes when playoff jimmy is humming though…

    Really glad Thibs isn’t also president of basketball operations because he’d be all over this.

  12. makesmewannadance

    Confirmed. Jimmy Butler was spotted at Fred Again show at Stanford in the summer.

    Warriors need a former bull on their team. An alpha dog

  14. HomicidalRex

    He’ll go back. It’ll be weird for the them to let him slide out without offering him the max he get trading him somewhere he doesn’t want to go. Dude probably gets his Jersey hung in that arena.

    They trying to run an AARP situation over there. Butler can’t manage to stay on the court. But Miami should get everything they can. Including Kuminga. Yes, let the Warriors be unsmart.

    Are Jimmy’s sunset year going to wreck some team?
