Before we begin, it must be made clear that this isn’t a speculative article regarding the prospect of Jimmy Butler actually joining the Indiana Pacers. Butler isn’t going to be on the trading block and won’t be a free agent for some time. The Pacers have no realistic shot at obtaining him, their most likely chance to do so was during free agency this past summer.
Though it’s not in the realm of possibility, the passing of what should have been the rematch date between the Pacers and the Heat (and T.J. Warren/Butler) got me thinking… Jimmy Butler would actually be an incredible fit for this team on a few different levels.
