In a podcast Adrian Wojnarowski and Bobby Marks recorded Friday morning, the two ESPN experts left little doubt that the Nets (as well as the Clippers) would face what Woj described as “a perilous decision” if they made anything but a lopsided deal for Jimmy Butler.
The asking price is so high, the possibility of getting a second star so uncertain and the risk of Butler deciding not to stay so sobering that they seemed to suggest neither Brooklyn nor the Clippers are likely to go for a deal now, and more than will likely wait until the summer and free agency.
