5 Basketball Teams That Jimmy Butler Should Be Traded To

Jimmy Butler has clearly stated that he doesn't want to play for the Bulls. Wait, sorry, Timberbulls. I mean the Timberwolves (third time's the charm), so why are they keeping him? It makes no sense for either side to continue relations with each other. Minnesota can get reasonable assets out of Butler, and Butler can continue to play for a winning team. So here are the top five teams that Butler would work the best with.

New York Knicks

I may be a little biased here as I am a Knicks fan, but the Knicks are a perfect fit for Butler. The Knicks lack a true superstar after Porzingis, and Butler can be that guy. As Tim Hardaway Jr hasn't been the fit that the Knicks have wanted at shooting guard, it is obvious that Butler is anti-Hardaway. Butler makes shots, plays defense and is a team leader.

With Butler scoring 20+ PPG as well as Porzingis doing that, the Knicks will have a much improved shot at the NBA Finals. Butler has also said he would like to play for the Knicks along with Kyrie Irving next year, and all Knicks fans are hoping they both play for the Knicks. But why delay it? Pick up Butler now!

Miami Heat

So apparently, the Timberwolves and Miami had a trade in-place before the Wolves backed out. However there is still a possibility of this happening. Miami has assets, and Butler wants Miami. This is a win-win, but can the Wolves accept the trade?

It makes sense for both sides as the Timberwolves can possibly land Dragic and Whiteside to add to their young core, while the Heat get the superstar they've been waiting for since LeBron left and Wade aged (not like fine wine).

Houston Rockets

The Rockets need a third star to compete with the Warriors, and sorry Melo; you ain't it. The Rockets got CP3 last year, and getting Butler this year would be a huge boost toward them. Daryl Morey, get on the phone with the Wolves. If the Rockets are able to land Butler, their lineup starts looking a whole lot scarier. CP3, Harden, Butler, Melo, Capela. There are 4, possibly 5 really good players on that lineup.

Come June, you could see this team representing the Western Conference in the Finals rather than the Warriors.

Chicago Bulls

LeBron to Cleveland, Wade to Miami, Butler back to the Bulls? It would be a sweet ending for the Bulls and Butler. Butler stated that he would want to retire for the Bulls, so why not go back eight years earlier and finish out his career there? Butler would lead young building blocks and would also be able to mentor them.

While this trade would make no real sense to the Timberwolves, it would be a nice fantasy seeing Butler back on a Bulls uniform.

Golden State Warriors

All right all right I'm not serious... well, I'm not totally serious. The Warriors seem to get everyone, so why not Butler, too? I hope this doesn't happen, but seeing the NBA right now, you never know. Hypothetically, if the Warriors were to get Butler, they'd have to give up Klay or Draymond which I don't see happening, but its always fun to dream, right?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
