NBA Free Agency: Assessing Jimmy Butler's most likely destinations

#2 Remain with the Sixers

The Philadelphia 76ers are keen to secure Butler to a long-term deal

Philadelphia's season ended with a disappointing playoff exit to the Toronto Raptors, but the Sixers still provide Butler with his best chance to win. The Eastern Conference is weaker than ever, and the potential summer departures of Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leonard to the West would put the Sixers in a position of power.

From a personal standpoint, Butler can also receive a five-year, $190 million contract from the Sixers - which is one year longer and more than $40 million more than what rival teams can offer him.

These two factors make a Butler stay in Philadelphia seem like the obvious option, however, the 29-year-old has questioned his role on the team, and his performances in the playoffs demonstrated that he is much better than a third option. Ultimately, the Sixers can make a very good case to Butler, although it still may not be enough.
