Wouldnt give up a ton either: mileage, huge and onerous contract coming, not a great teammate, needs ball in hands(for ego as well as skillset reasons seemingly) and doesnt quite fit our timeline. This last one doesnt bother me all too much tbh. Butler is arguably top 15 guy in the league and accelerating the timeline of DSJ and Doncic could be a beneficial thing. Of course, it could be the opposite, as we saw happen in Minny.
I think its just mbt doing their due dilligence and seeing if we could grab him for Wes, Powell, Brunson and some picks.
