"Butler needn't expect the Nets to be a suitor for his services if he goes through with plans to bypass his $52.4 player option with Miami for next season to become a free agent," Stein wrote. "League sources reiterated to The Stein Line this week that the Nets have no plans to pursue Butler in free agency."
"The Nets freed roughly $28 million in projected cap space over the last several weeks by trading Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline. According to Spotrac, Brooklyn projects to have over $90 million in practical cap space, though HoopsHype cap analyst Yossi Gozlan projects them to have $65 million."
"As I noted here, the interest in the Heat star never made sense. They are still in the stages of a rebuild, so acquiring Butler, who will be entering his age-36 season, wouldn't make much sense."
