In terms of going to a team to compete this is a real head scratcher. Butler must really hate playing with young players but doesn't want to be the 2nd or 3rd option on a super team.
Maybe Butler doesn't care about winning? Spent his college career in Wisconsin at Marquette. Has played for Chicago, Minnesota, Philly since entering the league. Maybe he wants long summers and a home in Miami where the weather is beautiful in the winter as long as the hurricanes don't hit.
So, the way it's worded with Butler intending to tell the Heat he wants to go there... is that because they really can't make an offer to him at this time? Some cap work needs to be done before they can offer anything for him to commit to, right?
No would have to be a sign and trade to Philly. They would need to figure out a trade where they get Butler, Sixers apparently like Josh Richardson, then the third team would likely eat one or two of the Heat garbage contracts and get youth/picks. Or something along those lines.
I feel like Rozier might have better options than to go to Charlotte.
