Returns for Jimmy Butler

Turns out the Timberwolves sordid summer wasn't all hot air from the media. After months of controversy, the center of all the drama is attempting a move to more populous pastures. It seems odd that Butler, a guy who outwardly stresses winning above all else, would request a trade to crummy teams like the Nets, Knicks and Clippers. Nevertheless, those three options actually work well for the Timberwolves, because they can provide at least a little return. It would've been inconvenient for Butler to force a trade to another contender like the Lakers, Warriors or Rockets - teams that don't have much to give in return for an all-star. What are some of your trade ideas for Butler? The optimist in me hopes we end up with someone like Kevin Knox from the Knicks or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Clippers. Young talent is fun to watch and fits with our timeline.
