Perhaps anticipating the buzz if Jimmy Butler went on the block, Knicks president Steve Mills said he wouldn’t give up prime assets to land a free agent to be. In another words, if the Knicks land Butler, it would have to be on the cheap.
With Butler reportedly asking for a trade and giving the Timberwolves three teams on his preferred list — the Knicks, Nets and Clippers — maybe a prime package wouldn’t be needed.
The report stated he would be willing to re-sign with those three teams.
