The Miami Heat are open to hearing trade offers for Jimmy Butler, who has taken his game and status to a whole new level with the franchise. Speculation about about which other organization has the desire and capacity to execute such a deal has begun. Speak's Paul Pierce put on his general manager cap on Tuesday and tried to identify the best fit. His answer was different than some of the other pundits trying to do exactly the same thing.
"Usually when players report that they want to go to these teams, they usually don't end up like that," Pierce said. "You saw a couple of years ago Dame Lillard wanted to be in Miami but where did he end up in? Milwaukee. The best fit for Jimmy Butler would probably be Denver Nuggets. I think they need another go-to guy to help Joker out, he's been having one of the more dominant seasons of his career, he's probably going to win MVP but if they can somehow find a way to add Jimmy Butler to the Denver Nuggets I think you're going to be seeing Jimmy and Joker raising another championship trophy ... if they don't have to play the Celtics."
