Carmelo Anthony tells Jimmy Butler ‘Sever this St’ with hot, eyes rockets trading | News, scores, highlights, statistics and rumors

NBA legend Carmelo Anthony offered a piece of advice to Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler this week in the middle of his ongoing drama before February 6 NBA trading deadline.

Talking on Wave Original Show 19:00 in Brooklyn (Beginning at 1:34:38-mark)Melo urged Butler to have a conversation with Heat President Pat Riley to trade with him if he doesn’t want to be there:

“Now there are different levels of conversations that herring down Jimmy. So because of it you have to find out a way, either with you with us or you out and if you go out to Pat, you need A conversation with Pat.

Butler is in the midst of his third team issued suspension over the past month due to behavior that is harmful to the team.

The first suspension was in seven matches and as part of the announced heat that they would listen to trade offerings involving Butler. He was then suspended two matches to miss a team flight.

As to where butler could potentially land if a trade is agreed upon, Anthony Houston appointed Rockets as a team that would make sense:

“A team has better a chance for Jimmy Butler. It’s the real situation that Jimmy has to go to. Houston could use Jimmy Butler. If we’re talking about winning or trying to win. Houston would be that place. They got a younger team they got a couple of veterinarians.

Rockets are number two at the western conference with a 32-15 record, and they are primarily led by a young core consisting of the Alps şengün, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson and the currently wounded Jabari Smith. They also have a couple of key veterans in Peace Vanvleet and Dillon Brooks.

While Butler has been a distraction in Miami this season, he is a 35-year-old veteran with six All-Star elections and two NBA final appearances in his honor.

He has been productive this season as he has played, an average of 17.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 stealing per day. Battle while shooting 54.0 percent from the field.

Butler also has a history of raising his game level during the postal season, as he has an average of 24.7 points per year. Fight over his four playoffs with the heat.

Given that Butler could opt out of his contract to become a free agent during the high season, he might be a low-risk, high reward purchase for a Rockets team that is very much in championship competition.
