Part 5/8:
Denver Nuggets and Acquiring Butler
As the Nuggets look to maximize their roster and take advantage of Nikola Jokic's MVP-caliber play, the question arises—could Jimmy Butler be the missing puzzle piece they need? Denver faces its own challenges that could make Butler an attractive target. While Butler's play style aligns with coach Michael Malone's system, concerns about salary and roster fit loom large.
If Denver were to entertain conversations involving an exchange centered on Michael Porter Jr., analysts argue that Miami would need to weigh this offer against its need for roster renewal and flexibility. For Miami, this could also mean acquiring additional draft picks to facilitate a future-oriented rebuild.
