The Brooklyn Nets are now the favorites to acquire Jimmy Butler if he decides to test free agency, per Bovada. This comes after a couple weeks ago when the Nets became a top destination for Butler.
In his career, Butler has averaged 18 points, five rebounds, four assists, and one and a half steals a game. Butler is also a great defender, being the steals champ in 2020-21, and a five-time second-team All-Defense.
Other teams on Bovada’s list that are likely to land Butler were the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets, and the San Antonio Spurs. The Miami Heat are also possible if they offer him an extension. Some dark horses to land him were the Memphis Grizzlies, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Orlando Magic.
In any case, whoever lands Butler will have someone who can lead the team with veteran and playoff experience, and provide both offense and defense.
