NBA Trade Rumors: 5 teams who should try and trade for Jimmy Butler

NBA Trade Rumors: If Jimmy Butler is going to hit the trade block sooner rather than later, here are 5 teams that should make an inquiry

It wasn’t that long ago that many experts were looking at the Minnesota Timberwolves and seeing a potential dynasty in the making. Less than two years after trading for Jimmy Butler, his future with the team is no longer a forgone conclusion.

In fact, according to a recent report from ESPN, there’s a chance that Jimmy B hits the trade block before this year’s NBA Trade Deadline – if Minnesota is really concerned with the possibility of losing him during next summer’s free agency.

If the Wolves feel that Jimmy B is going to sign elsewhere next summer, it would be smart of them to try and get something this year in exchange of him. However, that’s a difficult decision to make, considering he’s a big part of the team’s recent success and return to the playoffs.

Without Jimmy B, the Wolves are just another young team trying to find their footing in an extremely difficult Western Conference. But if the Wolves get to the point where they need to get something out of Jimmy B, before he has the chance to leave them at the altar, here are five teams that should try and make a move for the all-star shooting guard.
