The Dallas Mavericks made the list as one of the four franchises that Butler’s agent Bernie Lee “expressed in league circles” that he was open to joining, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The Mavs don’t have a lot of trade assets assuming they want to keep a core of Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson and Dereck Lively II together. If the Heat value P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall, Jaden Hardy and a 2031 first-round pick, however, a deal isn’t impossible.
Kuzma would come at a discount given his down year (15.8 points, 27.6 percent from three) but should be far better playing alongside stars in Dallas than rookies in Washington. A reunion with Finney-Smith needs to be on the table as well.
