Hear me out. This might not be as crazy as it sounds: Pursuing Jimmy Butler could be what the Washington Wizards need, or at least something they consider.
At first glance, this seems like throwing more gas on an already-burning fire. As Wizards fans are aware, the team hasn’t necessarily been the most cohesive unit this season. Reports of frustration and tension within the locker room have been out there since the start of the season.
Butler’s reputation isn’t exactly that of a peacemaker either. He’s on his third team in as many years, forcing his way out from both the Chicago Bulls prior to last season and most recently from the Minnesota Timberwolves, where expressed his dissatisfaction with the direction of both franchises.
