The Kings have entered the Jimmy Butler trade discussions

According to a recent update from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Kings have entered into the trade discussions for Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler:

So far, few franchises, if any, are engaged in serious conversations with the Timberwolves on Butler, sources said. But the list of organizations interested in talking further with Minnesota is significant, league sources said: Brooklyn, Detroit, Houston, the LA Clippers, Miami, Philadelphia, Portland and Sacramento are among the teams interested in probing for deals.

Sacramento’s possible acquisition of Butler would be the riskiest move of Vlade Divac’s tenure, as the disgruntled wing will enter free agency in 2019, but acquiring a star of his caliber could also accelerate the rebuild more quickly than anyone had previously hoped or expected.
