Butler was the primary reason the Wolves made it to their first playoffs in 14 years and were competing for the third seed for the majority of the season.
His ability to do anything and everything asked of him - from guarding centers on switches, dishing to teammates, going solo and getting buckets, spotting up from the perimeter, locking down the opposition's best player on a nightly basis - Jimmy G is able to all of this and more because of his versatility and all-round excellence.
A fully healthy campaign for any team that he's traded to will be enough to vault Butler into MVP contention at this stage.
