If Jimmy Butler hits free agency, which seems likely, he would have interest in the Brooklyn Nets: “Butler isn’t just open to Brooklyn, but fond of it, sources told The Post. Now, he’s not a Net and he might never get close to becoming one. But to dismiss the possibility out of hand is foolish.”

Why?
I mean sure ya I’ll take Jimmy but why on earth would this happen lmao
What kind of team do the Nets think they are?
Brooklyn: Most Nets teams delude themselves into thinking this free agent signing will make them a contender over night but this time?
This time it might work…
He’ll go anywhere that’s in an attractive market and is willing to give him the max.
I could absolutely see him hawking Bigface coffee in some industrial building in Brookyln
Go to the Raptors! They have a pretty decent core right now, the only thing they lack is a bench that can give them a few points.
we’re getting Butler to Nets rumors now? please God just start the season
might as well go to the knicks
Nets writer on Nets site thinks Nets could sign player.
When will nets learn
Is a 36 year old butler really max contract worthy/gonna move the needle on the nets?
I could see Butler signing over seas to, in fact that would be something I’d expect him to do at some point.
This is as clear as a consider the source moment as there can be.
Lol all time hedge at the end of this ‘take’. Butler is not at my birthday party and may never be close to coming, but to dismiss the possibility out of hand would be foolish.
Come back bby😢
Why the Nets? Dumbest shit I’ve heard all day. Golden State makes more sense, Cleveland makes sense as well but Brooklyn? Brooklyn is for
“ Stars “ who can’t handle the media market of the Knicks.
Jimmy come home
Jimmy + Donovan Mitchell + Cooper Flagg?
Sounds like those Knicks dreams of getting KD, Kyrie and Zion
The Nets will have a surplus of cap space for the next few years. Same scenario as a few years ago where every player/agent would use Brooklyn for leverage.
I don’t think there’s any scenario where the Nets would have legitimate interest in Butler.
Huh
“Now, he’s not a Net…”
Big if true.
Now, I’m not a US president and might never get close to becoming one. But to dismiss the possibility out of hand is foolish.
Jimmy belongs in Denver tbh. When thinking about what team his skills translate naturally to i can’t think of a better one.
Is he interested? He’s not not interested, and he might not not not not be interested. You’d be a fool to think otherwise.
Well I, for one, wouldn’t be shocked if he signed with the Knicks for the vet minimum. I’ve heard that not only is he open to the idea, but people heard him say that he would “play for the Knicks for free if the CBA would allow it”. To dismiss such a strong statement as pure fantasy is insulting
Jimmy Butler. The man who almost made a difference.
Bro if the Nets get bailed out AGAIN I’m going to lose my shit
Cooper Flagg 🚩
We ain’t worried about old heads we worried about the future
I think he wants to go to Minnesota
That would be an exciting move for both Butler and the Nets. It will be interesting to see how things unfold.
I feel like Jimmy is about to go downhill fast…
I feel like him and Simmons would really get along
He wants money. If willing to sign a short contract Spurs would be cool, if not then reunion with Tobias in Detroit 🤣
Would be foolish for the Nets to attempt to become a premium retirement home a third time.
Jimmy to the Nets, well they can beat Minnesota. 🤔
Why the hell would Jimmy go to the nets
