A: First, I am having a hard time figuring out how trading Butler makes any sense for the Bulls other than a commitment to a more up-tempo style, which their front office mentioned at Wednesday's media session. Butler is only 27 and is under contract for two more seasons at the reasonable salary of $18.7 million next season and $19.8 million in 2018-19. That's why I'm somewhat befuddled by even the possibilities. But if the Bulls do make such a move, it would be for high-end youth. So while you might be able to cobble together a Heat package beginning with, say, Justise Winslow and Tyler Johnson, the Heat don't have the type of draft pick that could close such a deal. The Celtics, in need of one more wing scorer, however, do, with the Nets' first-round pick that they own free and clear, guaranteed to be among the first four selections and likely one of the first two. I'm just not sure what's not to like about Jimmy Butler. So, yes, if he is on the market, it behooves the Heat to inquire. But it would seem the Heat would have to offer at the level of Hassan Whiteside just to get into the discussion.
