No one really knows exactly what’s going on in Minnesota. But if Jimmy Butler decides to go the way of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard and force a trade out of the twin cities, could the Blazers provide enough to interest the Wolves?
The Ringer has included the Blazers in a list of five teams that would suit the former Most Improved Player if his discussions with Minnesota management further disintegrate to the point of no return.
Now Butler has two years and $40,287,406 left on his contract, however he has a player option for the 2019-20 season, which he would almost certainly decline knowing he could earn more as a free agent.
