With the two major trades taking one rumored Bucks target off the board, Milwaukee may be pivoting to other names as some believe they are interested in some more star power. Jimmy Butler is still on the Heat’s roster and apparently told the Warriors he wouldn’t extend there, so they’ve tabled that idea. He still prefers to be traded to the Suns, and some around the league still think the Bucks could get involved as a facilitator in what would have to be a multi-team deal if they don’t actually go for Butler himself.
But as relayed by Jake Fischer of The Stein Line earlier today, apparently Milwaukee is talking about a different forward:
Many league observers [suggest] that a Butler deal, at this juncture, is as likely to involve the Warriors or the Milwaukee Bucks as the Suns finally getting him.
