Would this make sense for a star? Miami Heat attacker Jimmy Butler decamp to the Brooklyn NetsOn the Nets’ side, there may be a path to a faster rebuild with Jimmy Buckets signing with the team in free agency, and it’s safe to say he could be a great mentor for younger talent. But the first path carries a lot of risk, and it’s likely that the second (as opposed to competing for titles) isn’t in Butler’s DNA.
As for Butler’s situation, while it’s true that he wants to leave the Heat once his contract is up, the situation doesn’t seem ideal. Could he simply use the team as leverage to get another result? The possibility is far from zero in that regard.
