Especially not Memphis. This is what the camp of Jimmy Butler Leave leaking for several weeks regarding the destinations envisaged by the winger, in order to leave the Heat. But why does the All-Star agent insist so much to discourage the grizzly greeks from recovering the Floridian troublemaker? Certainly because they are very interested …
This is what ESPN confirmswho assures that the franchise of Tennessee would not be afraid to get their hands on Jimmy Butler, even if the latter would not intend to prolong it.
For what ? Because the Grizzlies would have two objectives: to improve the short -term team by combining an experienced veteran with young JA MORANT, DESMOND BANE and JAREN JACKSON JR. for the next playoffs, while freeing from the wage bill for The upcoming extension of the strong winger!
With this in mind, having a Jimmy Butler for only a few months would not be a problem since this would make it possible to reach both goals, namely to be more competitive in the short term while freeing the wage bill this summer. Using the exchange in particular to get rid of contracts Marcus Smart ($ 20 million this year, 22 million next season), John Konchar ($ 6 million annually until 2027) or Luke Kennardwhose lease of $ 9 million expires at the end of this season.
The main concern is that the Grizzlies have managed to bring order internally following the slippages of JA MORANT, and that a selfless Jimmy Butler is perhaps not the best contribution in the locker room.
