Sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Butler would prefer to be shipped to the Knicks, Nets or Clippers.
What about the Lakers?
Well, as Wojnarowski wrote on Wednesday afternoon:
Golden State Warriors
Butler had once imagined playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, but LeBron James' arrival as the franchise's cornerstone made it less appealing for Butler in the prime of his career, league sources said.
Kyrie Irving demanded a trade from Cleveland, Paul George stayed in OKC, there have been rumblings that Kawhi Leonard might prefer the Clippers over the Lakers, and now this.
What does this say, if anything, about LeBron James? It's all certainly ... interesting.
