Now that the Philadelphia 76ers have been knocked out of contention, all eyes have turned to where their pending free agents will end up next season. Jimmy Butler, J.J. Reddick and Tobias Harris could all potentially leave the City of Brotherly Love. Already, Vegas has released the odds of where the best defender of the trio, Jimmy Butler, will end up. Per BetOnline.ag, here are the odds you get if interested in putting a little money on Butler's destination:
76ers -125
Rockets +500
Knicks +600
Nets +700
Clippers +800
Lakers +800
Unsurprisingly, the Sixers are still the favorite to land Jimmy Butler. After a relatively successful season that ended in heartbreak, it wouldn't be shocking to see Butler return and get better results with the team that was one shot away from making the conference finals.
Next in line are the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks, who are on different ends of the spectrum. Jimmy Butler could team up with James Harden and Chris Paul to chase a ring or attempt to build from the floor in New York. Obviously, the Knicks will be chasing multiple stars and have an attractive draft pick this summer.
The Brooklyn Nets and the two Los Angeles teams finish the list. All could be attractive spots for Jimmy Butler. The Nets and Clippers appear to be one star away from serious contention. Playing with LeBron James for a storied franchise also holds some attractiveness.
All eyes will be on the two-way guard as his free agency approaches. Only time can tell where he will end up.
