Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic and Jimmy Butler
Former NBA player Chandler Parsons recently shared his thoughts on Jimmy Butler’s potential next team. With the Miami Heat star reportedly considering a move to one of four teams – the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, or Houston Rockets – Parsons believes that the Mavericks are the best fit.
According to Parsons, Jimmy Butler might join the Rockets with the expectation of being the team’s main star, but that wouldn’t be the case. Instead, Parsons thinks the Mavericks would be a more suitable destination for Butler. With Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving already on the team, Parsons believes Butler would understand his role and fit in seamlessly. The Mavericks’ current weakness is their defense, and Parsons thinks Butler’s skills would be a significant asset in addressing that issue.
The weakness of the team is defence, I think he can provide them a lot of things and fill a lot of holes they don’t have quite yet.

Parsons strongly believes that the Dallas Mavericks make more sense for Butler, given his desire to join a contending team. With the Mavericks’ existing talent and Butler’s ability to fill gaps on defense, Parsons thinks this move would be a win-win for both Butler and the Mavericks.

Meanwhile, Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, has been at the center of the drama, initially mentioning a list of preferred teams before dismissing reports as “fabricated” on social media. Butler has publicly backed his agent’s defense, praising their close relationship and solidarity in the face of rumors. The strong bond between Butler and Lee has been evident in their joint response to the speculation.
As Butler approaches the end of his contract, worth $48.8 million, with a player option of $52.4 million looming for next season, the rumors about his future have reached a boiling point. Despite the speculation, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports that Butler’s top priority remains securing a new deal with the Miami Heat, ahead of any potential trades.
