🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

there are a couple of big dates on the NBA calendar coming up we’re not just talking about Christmas Day first this Sunday that’s when 85 players who sign deals this offseason become eligible to be traded the second December 19th that’s when most general managers team officials they’re going to descend upon the g-league winner Showcase in Orlando we all know what happens when you get that many front office Personnel in the same zip code so as we March toward Trey season it’s time for inside pass where our senior NBA Insider sham breaks down the biggest news and trade possibilities Shams is here with us now Shams let’s start in Miami if we could where Jimmy Butler has been a question mark all season long how are the Heat looking at Butler’s future mikica sources tell me the heat are open to listening to offers for Jimmy Butler and Butler prefers a win now contender in any trade it’s been also communicated by Butler’s agent I’m told that he would be open to a couple of the Texas teams the Mavericks the Houston Rockets as well as the Golden State Warriors now what makes this tricky is that he’s under contract for $49 million this season and he’s got a $52 million player option for next season and teams have already been informed that he intends to decline that option and Test free agency in the off season so that’s why if you’re the Heat have to explore and see what’s out there for Jimmy buler who could leave as a free agent and from Butler’s perspective with no extension in Miami what are your options in the marketplace and for his part by all accounts Butler has been professional he’s been productive on the court as he usually is this is an active situation we will be monitoring imminently and pretty much until the trade deadline okay very very interesting you mentioned a couple of teams here but one was the Houston Rockets right Shams perk you’ve said multiple times you think Jimmy Butler should be traded this season but how do you feel about his fit with the Rockets here I don’t like it I don’t like it at all uh I think the Rockets got something really really good going um they have they they have their Foundation uh they have their two franchise guys players and shanon and Jaylen green that they’re going to build around and they have some nice pieces you have uh Aman th Thompson and you have uh uh e coming off the bench I’m not really you know leveraging all that for for a guy like Jimmy Butler I’m sorry it’s just I was Pat if I’m the Houston Rockets I just think Jimmy Butler to the Rockets don’t really move the needle for me and don’t necessarily put them as title contenders from Texas to Texas or should I say Houston to Houston from me to perk uh I like it I don’t love it okay and the reason why I like it is because now Houston we can say that we are in the conversation of contenders because he’s looking for a contender and maybe that’s what Houston is but other than that I don’t think it’s a necess necessity for the Rockets right now they’re already if you say like okay Jimmy Butler what does he bring to a contender it’s the fact that they he puts you over the edge to win games you normally shouldn’t they’re right now 8 and six in clutch time they have a winning record in clutch time which is great also they are the second youngest team in the west according to play playing time so I kind of like the young core that they’re building and I’m not sure if we should go all in for this situation right now so I would say it we good but aren’t you just curious just just curious Chan just to see how it would look to see what the the deal would be let let’s just Bobby just just for for Giggles here can you just explain what a deal for Jimmy would look like Chen what happens if we don’t have to touch the young Corp oh let’s look at a little bit about Houston right now and I think I think the Rockets actually out of all the teams that Shams mentioned I think there’s a pathway to do a Jimmy Butler deal without touching any of the young players remember when you look at it Butler’s at $49 million so we have to get close to that number it’s going to start with Dylan Brooks so if you’re willing to sacrifice Dylan Brooks okay and not any of your younger players here’s how you can you can potentially get a deal you’re looking at Players like jock Landell Jon Tate right here maybe get him yep and then even a player like Aaron holiday just a thir times a charm Bobby clearly there we go and then certainly when we’re looking at draft picks we can add draft picks here but when you look at it that works here so it’s a 4 for one type trade where really Dylan Brooks is your main player that’s going out and all all your young players can stay there it’s you’re giving her something to think about here Butler of course is 35 years old [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
