all of them are currently in a weird spot. If your the wolves Cavs and heat you see what’s out there.

Hassan Whiteside has to been looking for a new home for a while now. The heat have a good player in a bad situation. He’s really still valuable when you look at what he can do. A Drummond and Whiteside swap is perfect for both sides.blake fits perfect with Whiteside and Drummond fits perfect with Kelly O

Kevin Love is a great player in a bad situation. That team is not going anywhere. I’d love to see k love get traded to the wizards for porter. He’s got the pick and pop that John Wall has been missing. Porter is young talented and could excel in a situation where he is the guy. 

Jimmy butler is a special talent in a bad situation. Wiggins and Kat just aren’t there yet and it’s better to get 60 cents on the dollar then nothing. They need to find another player that fits in Wiggins and Kats time frame. A player I think it’s perfect is Kyle Kuzma. You have to toss dent for salary but w Wiggins Kuzma and KAT front court is talented and young. He’s locked up for a while and a great player. The lakers put butler with Lebron and have 2 warriors. He also played with rondo so there’s some chemistry there. They would also have a great chance at signing butler.

What if the Cavs traded Love back to Minnesota for Jimmy Butler? Cleveland gets a tough, franchise caliber veteran who complements their talent well and Minnesota gets a guy they’re already familiar with who thrived there and could be an upgrade at PF. I also get the sense he’d be a lot more willing to take Wiggins and Towns under his wing than Butler was.

If Jimmy hates playing with Collin Sexton, then there’s no rookie he’d ever like playing with cause they seem perfect for each other personality wise

I think Love is in a great spot. He’ll put up huge empty numbers then opt out and get max money from some team.

  All the mentioned players have issues:

Hassan-Knuckle head reputation-Hence why the even the Kings let him loose.

K-love Defense and Health issues.

Butler-That old school work hard drive which may grind younger players or inexperience coaches gear…

However the all hold value to some teams:I will go from easiest to move to least.

I see K-love and Butler opting out what to do is the question I could see both Love and Butler re-upping for max bucks but I could also see both leaving. 

These are the teams that they could sign for and be traded to:

I am not taking Money into account as you never know what they will sign for or if they take a cheap like a boogie cousins/ slightly cheaper deal like a K.D/Lebron(with Heat).

 K-love could sign with these teams: Cavs(if its about $),OKC(if he wants to team up with his boy Russ/Ernie and to try help Him and Pg win a ring),Lakers if he wants to finish his Career with Lebron,Houston(if they have cap room),Minny if he wants to finish up where it started,Phoenix if he wants to help mentor young team and Dallas as Dirk replacement…

Teams that might trade for him: Miami-They might want to try get a big name in,Sixers may try get a floor spacer in beside Embiid,Wizards may want to get a pick and pop big beside dwight and to give Wall another option. Pacers are a wild card as they may offer picks or young enough talent while taking an average deal back also…

Jimmy Butler:

Teams he might sign with: T-wolves if they get their young cort to sort their ish+ $ and loyalty to Thibs,Knicks(Kyrie rumors),OKC they have a group that may just be as serious as him in Westbrook,Adams and PG,Clippers if they want to move Tobias,Picks and Avery and get Jimmy to recruit players to LAC,Lakers if he wants to troll everyone and play with Lebron,Suns to give Ayton,Booker a running mate and help mentor Josh Jackson and T.J Warren and NOLA they have an interesting core that could maybe convince him to somehow go there.

Teams that may trade for him:

Suns-if they get really impatient, 76ers if they want him and Embiid to go ham on people defensively,Denver could try do a big package to build around Jokic,Butler and one other player,Boston if they want to get a win now team and keep Kyrie happy by trading for his friend and Wildcard team Knicks..

Hassan:

Trade only as already locked up for another 2 years at least so can’t opt out:

Cavs could do a get a cheaper contract move(keeping K-love out of deal) to give Heat cap room and to give Bam the starting role,Spurs could give them expiring deals to get a better fit with DD,Knicks if they want a rim protector to pair with K.P could offering expiring deals,Chicago could be crazy enough to pair him with Lauri M and Maybe The Raptors if they wanted to get a better fit with Kawhi defensively…

If the knock on Jimmy Butler is that he has a short fuse in dealing with guys who don’t bring it, then what do you think he will do to Hassan Whiteside?
