Memphis Grizzlies enter Jimmy Butler trade talks

Memphis reportedly eyeing Butler for a playoff push while managing future cap space

The Memphis Grizzlies are reportedly engaged in trade talks with the Miami Heat for Jimmy Butler, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

Sources suggest Memphis is looking to bolster its playoff chances while also clearing salary to potentially extend Jaren Jackson Jr.’s contract this summer.

Butler has indicated he may opt out of his contract to test free agency this offseason. The Grizzlies are believed to be exploring a scenario where they can secure Butler for a postseason run and simultaneously create cap flexibility for future moves.
