Upcoming free agent Jimmy Butler has been linked with a number of teams, and the New York Post is reporting that the Brooklyn Nets are among his most likely landing spots:

Kevin Durant may be the Nets’ top target in free agency, but he’s not the only one. The feeling around the NBA is the Nets will have a very real chance to pry four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler away from Philadelphia.

Finally having the cash and cachet to get looks from the top free agents this July, Nets general manager Sean Marks is expected to be in the hunt for both Durant and Kyrie Irving. But Butler isn’t just a fall-back plan; he’s a two-way star league sources said the Nets have a real shot at landing.

Butler joined the Sixers from the Timberwolves in mid-November, averaging 18.2 points per game.
